The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust provides long-term stewardship of public and private land across the Mountains to Sound Greenway National Heritage Area. Through our restoration program, Greenway Trust staff, seasonal crew members, contractors, AmeriCorps members, partners, and volunteers work together to plant thousands of native trees and shrubs, remove invasive weeds, and conduct riparian (streamside) restoration.
