The Washington Native Plant Society is partnering with the cities of Bellevue, Issaquah, Sammamish, Kirkland, and Redmond, along with King County DNR and Parks to train local volunteers.

Learn native plant ID, ecology and restoration skills, and then volunteer with a small team from the class restoring a local natural area.

Classes are held Fridays, Beginning April 16th, through June 25th. There are three Saturday Field Trips. Class will be held at Lewis Creek Park, Bellevue.

The training is free, but in exchange, Native Plant Stewards commit to providing at least 75 hours of restoration and 25 hours help WNPS with skills you ve learned. Teams of stewards will get to design and implement their own restoration management plans for a specific site within East King County.
