Tribal Life Trail

The Tribal Life Trail is located within the Lake Wilderness Arboretum in Maple Valley. The garden is a trail-style demonstration garden that focuses on plants used by native peoples of the Pacific Northwest. It is designed to provide an educational platform and understanding of the foods, medicines, and many other practical functions derived from these plants by native peoples. The trail is approximately 270 feet long and meanders in and out of the forest edge along the meadow in the arboretum. Informational signage identifies plants and their traditional uses. Hours:  Master Gardeners are on site from 9:30 until 11:30 a.m. the first and third Thursday from April 11– October 24, and on some special event days like Make a Difference Day in October. 2nd Grade Tours are a major event each September.
