Join the Three Rivers Chapter of Trout Unlimited and Puget Sound Women on the Fly, in partnership with Green Issaquah, for a Stewardship Saturday volunteer event at Anthology Open Space in Issaquah.

Volunteers will help remove invasive Himalayan blackberry along Tibbetts Creek, improving habitat for salmon and other wildlife and preparing the area for future restoration efforts. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow anglers and conservationists while giving back to the watershed.
