On Saturday, March 3, the public is invited to preview new trails, native plant landscaping, emerging wetlands habitat and rebuilt salmon-bearing stream corridors being developed as part of the Brightwater Treatment Plant project.The hour-long guided walking tours will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. beginning at the Brightwater project office, 22509 State Route 9 S.E., Woodinville.

King County is investing $8 million to restore 43 acres of underused, environmentally damaged land on the north portion of the 114-acre Brightwater site, which will transform the area into a community asset when construction is completed later this year.

Participants should wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes and long pants, and be prepared to walk on unpaved pathways and boardwalks. Children who are accompanied by an adult are welcome, though baby strollers cannot be used on the crushed rock trails.

People are strongly encouraged to register in advance.
