Review for The Mountains To Sound Greenway Tr, Seattle, WA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I've volunteered almost 2,000 hours with The Mountains to Sound Greenway Trust and have come to know that MTSG is such an amazing and important organization! MTSG works with volunteers, including young children, students, families, boy scouts, girl scouts, faith-based groups, and corporate groups. MTSG staff has really perfected volunteer events as they are so welcoming, prepared, and really strive to educate volunteers so that they will understand how important their work is and that they will want to come back again and again! They also hire crews of young adults as part of the Washington Conservation Corps to perform local environmental restoration and trail maintenance throughout the Greenway. Corpsmembers learn valuable physical skills, as well as team building and leadership skills. Environmental restoration is so crucial to provide food and habitat for local wildlife, to decrease flooding, to improve soil and air quality, and of course improve water quality for our beloved salmon!!! Our popular hiking trails are well-maintained so that they can be enjoyed by all. MTSG brings communities together through volunteer work, also working to create new walking/biking trails between cities, and promoting local farms, community events, and heritage. MTSG even works with construction planners to decrease environmental impacts, including the I-90 wildlife crossing project! They truly listen to what the community wants and works with local governments, businesses, and citizens to come to mutual agreements! I am SO PROUD of this organization and will continue to support them both financially and through volunteer work! HOORAY for the Greenway!
