Bringing Camas Prairies Back to the Snoqualmie Valley
October 2, 2025 at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
Presented by Washington Native Plant Society – Central Puget Sound Chapter. Michael Bailey is the Environmental & Natural Resources Outreach Manager with the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe’s ENR Dept. Camas Meadows in the Snoqualmie Valley are cited in the Snoqualmie Tribe’s creation story and early settler accounts, referring to the miles of expansive prairies above the falls as “here the land is good.” After many years organizing and talking with partners, the Tribe’s ENR Dept has installed 18 experimental prairie plots, bringing many native grass and forb species back to the Snoqualmie Valley. These plots will help teach us how to bring back this lost ecology and reconnect all forms of life with the camas prairies that use to cover the upper Snoqualmie Valley. Free and open to the public. No registration needed.
