As a whole, the Dorre Don Natural Area consists of nearly 70 acres on both banks of the Cedar River. The Cedar River is ecologically valuable for several reasons. It is used seasonally by native salmon species, including sockeye, coho, steelhead, and possibly Chinook. This natural area consists of important riparian habitat alongside the river to support juvenile salmon habitat in the stream. This natural area is managed by King County, and is currently managed to ensure and increase and enhancement of this essential habitat.

The specific site lies alongside a side channel of the Cedar River, which is also used seasonally by salmon. The exact location of this event was formerly a single family home residence. Now, it is a canvas for King County, Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust, and volunteers such as yourself to increase native conifer cover alongside this side channel of the Cedar River.

Be sure to come out and experience the beauty of this natural area near Maple Valley. No experience necessary, all training provided. Thank you for coming out to volunteer!
