About Us

What We Do

The Green Seattle Partnership is a collaborative initiative to restore and enhance Seattle’s forested parklands. The ecological restoration we do builds connection and access to nature, strengthens community cohesion, improves the health of the Puget Sound, and increases climate change resiliency.

We understand that our strengths and successes live in the partnerships being built across Seattle. Community participants, partner organizations, professional crews, and City of Seattle staff are working together to care for forested parks across Seattle. Come join us!

Origin Story

The Partnership was started in 2004 to care for forested natural areas. The two-fold goals defined then 2005 still ring true. We are here to restore and maintain the forested parklands and designated natural areas of Seattle. And we aim to expand and galvanize an informed, involved, and active community around forest restoration and stewardship.

The original Green Seattle Partnership Strategic Plan, written in 2005, describes the challenges facing Seattle’s forested parklands, provides a vision for restoration of the forest, and includes a roadmap for the Green Seattle Partnership to mobilize neighbors and resources. The 2017 Strategic Plan Update summarizes the program’s evolution and successes, identifies opportunities for additional progress, and outlines how to achieve priority objectives.
