Activities

Join us to restore the riparian area at Echo Lake Park! Friends of Echo Lake and Green Shoreline Partnership will be restoring this area on beautiful Echo Lake. Echo Lake has very little undeveloped shoreline, so this area contains rare habitat for otter, birds, insects and fish, and serves to filter run off after storms. Our native plants will include new tall conifers, to sequester carbon and provide shade.

Echo Lake is part of the McAleer Watershed, draining into Lake Ballinger, with creeks flowing to Lake Washington and on to Puget Sound. Echo Lake Park Riparian area has been degraded by invasive plants and frequent trespassing into the protected area.

We plan to restore the area by removing invasives, adding mulch and more native plants.

We will provide tools, plants and guidance! While we have snacks, you are welcome to bring a sack lunch. We also have hot drinks and some water. Please bring a water bottle. :)
