Green Seattle Partnership
Restoring Seattle's Urban Forests
Check out GSP's NEW Events Website
We are excited to unveil Green Seattle Partnership's NEW events portal! Thanks to a generous grant from the United States Forest Service we were able to design an interactive events website that allows volunteers to search for event (by date and location) and to register online! Take a moment to check out the new site and let us know what you think by emailing info@greenseattle.org
Support the Partnership's Future
Green Seattle Partnership builds community by restoring our declining forests. With thousands of volunteers participating in the Partnership throughout the city, a shared sense of ownership for our city parks is cultivated. We must invest in our forests now!

Thank you Green Seattle Day volunteers!
Thank

By the end of the day that was graced with sunny skies and mild afternoon temps, volunteers planted over 4,000 trees, shrubs and groundcover. Check out photos of our volunteers on our Facebook Page.

Our Vision: A healthy, livable city with sustainable forested parklands
The Green Seattle Partnership has a vision of a city with diverse, invasive-free, sustainable forested parklands. It is a vision where Seattle’s urban forest will be supported by an aware and engaged community in which individuals, neighborhoods, nonprofits, businesses, and City government work together to protect and maintain this resource.
GSP Goals- Restore 2,500 acres of forested parkland in the City of Seattle.
- Create an informed, involved and active community of citizens, City staff, educators, business leaders, and conservationists.
- Ensure sustainability of our forested parklands through proper, long-term maintenance and community stewardship
