Sammamish resident Frank Blau, photographer and nature buff, lead a group of locals on a walk around Beaver Lake Park on Saturday. The walk was part of the city’s “Sammamish Walks” series, designed to get more people out and into the Plateau’s remarkable parks and open spaces, and help them learn more about the area’s environment and its history.

On Saturday, May 15, Sammamish Walks will explore the Hazel Wolf Wetland.

On June 19, a walk guided by Parks Commissioner Randy Jackson will be held at Soaring Eagle Park.
