Celebrate Green Snoqualmie Day: Plant Climate Change Adaptation Forest, Learn to Prune Fruit Trees

News & Announcements Posted on September 16, 2025 | Last Updated on September 16, 2025

Celebrate the kick-off to the planting season at the 2025 Green Snoqualmie Day event. This year you can help plant Snoqualmie’s own Climate Change Adaptation Demonstration Forest. 

Join the Green Snoqualmie Partnership on Saturday, October 4, 2025, from 9 am to noon, on Park Street – across from the Mount Si High School track field - in downtown Snoqualmie. 

During Green Snoqualmie Day 2025, volunteers will plant trees and shrubs that help our urban forest adapt to a changing climate using resistance, resilience and transition strategies that will steward the urban forest to benefit the community today — and well into the future. 

Come dressed for the weather (rain or shine) in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes (rubber boots, hiking shoes or boots), long sleeves, long pants, warm layers, and a rain jacket.
 
Tools and gloves will be provided, as well as coffee, water, and a mid-morning snack. After the work is done, stick around for pizza to celebrate the good work that was accomplished. If you can, help reduce waste by bringing your own refillable coffee mug/water bottle.

This all-ages event is great for families, and those of all abilities are welcome. Plan to arrive at 8:45 am. Parking is available at the east end of the work site, with signs pointing the way. 

Registration, parking, and directions, please visit Green Snoqualmie Day 2025

If you feel ambitious, we have another event following this one: Riverwalk Fruit Tree Pruning, from 1 to 4 pm. Join Steve Gaber from NW Fruit (Western Washington Fruit Research Foundation) and Snoqualmie's Urban Forestry team to get a hands-on experience of fruit tree pruning techniques and approaches. You will learn summer and winter maintenance that will sustain the productivity and health of your fruit trees.

This event takes place near the Green Snoqualmie Day event in the City of Snoqualmie Community Orchard at 39282 SE Park Street. If you have your own hand pruners, please bring them. We will also have pruners, loppers, and gloves available for those who need them.
