Volunteering with the GSP

Volunteering with the Green Seattle Partnership is a great way to give back to your community, get outside, and improve the health of a local park. Everyone can help keep our forested parks healthy and green! No experience necessary. Find a community event at the map and calendar linked below. Questions?
