  The Green Seattle Partnership is holding a orientation in April for community members interested in taking a leadership role in forest restoration. 

The Green Seattle Partnership offers the opportunity to make real positive change by volunteering in your local parks. We work to make our public greenspaces healthier and more sustainable by removing aggressive invasive plants and replanting with native northwest forest species. We also seek to build a community of stewardship around these public spaces to safeguard their future.

Parks and open spaces are vital to creating livable cities and a healthy Puget Sound; we are fortunate to have a legacy of forested parklands. Seattle’s parks and greenbelts strengthen local neighborhoods and provide numerous valuable “green services”. The Green Seattle Partnership program works to protect this important legacy of beautiful parks and vibrant communities for our children and great-grandchildren through a public-private partnership between the City, the Cascade Land Conservancy, and the residents of Seattle.
