Celebrate Stewardship in the Cle Elum and Teanaway Valleys
Here in the Greenway, we are lucky to have nearly one million acres of publicly conserved land to explore and recreate within. In Kittitas County, 70% of the land is publicly-owned and managed by the United States Forest Service, the Washington Departments of Natural Resources and Fish and Wildlife, Bureau of Land Management, and Kittitas County, with collaborative support from partner nonprofits, businesses, and community members.
On this National Public Lands Day, the largest single-day volunteer effort on public lands, we put away our maps and we take out our work gloves to do what the Greenway Trust loves most – stewardship.
Cheers for Volunteers Afterparty
After volunteering, celebrate a great day of giving back together with us at Dru Bru in Cle Elum. Volunteers will receive a free drink token (non-alcohol options available) and a raffle ticket for Greenway merch!
