Evans Creek Preserve Blackberry Removal Restoration Event in Sammamish on July 26, 2025

On July 26th, 2025, our team members Eric Huang, Kevin Chen Jacky Yan, and Allen Xie volunteered at the Restoration Event at Evans Creek Preserve in Sammamish from 11:00am to 2:00pm. During the three hour-long event, our members worked hard to remove invasive blackberry roots, creating space for native plants to thrive.

As our members attended this event, we met other people from our community, forging invaluable connections with them and enriching our collective knowledge. We utilized our social and 21st century skills to collaborate with others and also utilized our physical labor to complete tasks. Everyone demonstrated amazing and palpable enthusiasm, acknowledging this event as an educational and fun activity. It has provided us a great opportunity to learn more about our surrounding environment and contribute towards the greater Sammamish community
