Snoqualmie Prairie Restoration
Meadowbrook Farm Interpretive Center
The Snoqualmie Valley floor was once a vast open prairie, maintained by ancestors of the Snoqualmie Tribe for thousands of years for food, medicinal plants and hunting. But the beautiful open space meadows that remain (Meadowbrook, Tollgate, Three Forks) are no longer native prairie. Join Snoqualmie Tribe biologist Ryan Lewis to learn about the exciting prairie restoration plans, the plants involved, and what to watch for at the planned restoration sites.
