On February 18, members of the Sammamish Rotary rolled up their sleeves to help restore the shoreline at Sammamish Landing, planting native vegetation to support the health of Lake Sammamish’s ecosystem.
Sammamish Rotarians Gary Tornquist, Iden Zaima, and Marilyn and Mark Guthrie joined fellow volunteers in placing a variety of native plants along the waterfront. The effort is part of an ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship in the City of Sammamish, helping to stabilize the shoreline, reduce erosion, and create habitat for local wildlife.
Native plantings play a critical role in protecting water quality by filtering runoff before it reaches the lake. Over time, the new vegetation will provide shelter and food for birds, pollinators, and other species that depend on a healthy shoreline environment.
The February 18 work party reflects Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self.” By dedicating their time and energy to hands-on restoration, these Sammamish Rotarians are helping ensure that Sammamish Landing remains a vibrant and sustainable community gathering place for generations to come.
