Thank you, Green Seattle Day volunteers!
With the help of over 700 volunteers, we installed 3,500 native plants in 18 Seattle parks. Thanks for braving the wind and the rain to make sure those young trees have a healthy start and our forested park lands have a healthy future!
Pictures from the event are on Facebook.

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
