About this organization
Mission
MISSION: The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust leads and inspires action to conserve and enhance the landscape from Seattle across the Cascade Mountains to Central Washington, ensuring a long-term balance between people and nature. VISION: The Mountains to Sound Greenway is an iconic 1.5 million-acre landscape that conserves a healthy and sustainable relationship between land and people by balancing built and natural environments. A landscape providing places for nature and wildlife, for outdoor recreation and education, for working forests and local agricultural production, while embracing vibrant urban areas with strong economies. A landscape supported by a broad cross-section of society, working together as an effective coalition to preserve this heritage for future generations.
About
Stewardship: Each year, Greenway volunteers and sponsored AmeriCorps members donate more than 20,000 hours toward outdoor trail and restoration projects and assist with planting more than 20,000 native trees and shrubs. Approximately 50% of volunteers are youth. Ecological restoration, emphasizing riparian habitat and water quality improvements occurs across the landscape, with new projects each year, including a successful partnership to increase the size of Lake Sammamish State Park and initiate restoration on the newly donated land. The Greenway Trust continues construction on new trails, trailheads, and recreation facilities (including at Garfield Ledges, and the Oxbow Loop Trail) in the Middle Fork Valley, and works to maintain more than 75 miles of wildland trails each year.
