We are fortunate to have such an amazing array of partners who help us maintain our world-class parks, trails and open spaces. One such partner is the Two Rivers School from North Bend – they’ve been helping us plant native vegetation and remove invasive plants on our properties (in the area) for over ten years!

Recently I was lucky enough to catch up with Joe, a teacher at Two Rivers School, and some of his students as they helped us plant trees at Three Forks Natural Area. You can tell from these photos that it’s an enthusiastic crew. They are big on the “field sandwiches” Joe doles out – and they’re more than obliging when it comes to mugging for the camera.

Joe always does an outstanding job explaining to his students the importance of the work that they are doing – and that they are creating their legacy at the natural area.

Huge shout out to Joe, Two Rivers School, and to all of the classes that have helped us over the years. Your work – your legacy – means the world to us.
