Events

Without a coordinated effort, we are at risk of losing 70% of our forests in just 20 years. The Green Seattle Partnership is reversing the trend by mobilizing thousands of volunteers to restore 2,500 acres by 2025.

Seattle parks need your help.  Please join us and 1,000 of your neighbors for Green Seattle Day to kick off the 2009/2010 planting season.

Green Seattle Day is more than a restoration event, it is a recognition of the benefits of our urban forests, a celebration of our commitment to a healthy city, and a statement of Seattle's civic-minded values.

Where: the Clover Creek Reserve in Pierce County (directions below)

About the Property and Event:

Clover Creek Reserve is an example of woodland prairie, an increasingly rare landscape in Pierce County. When it was acquired in the mid-1990s, blackberry brambles prevented native plants from growing along the creek.

Where: Richmond Beach Strandberg Preserve in Shoreline, 19101 17th Ave NW

What to bring: Please remember to dress for the weather.  Suggested Dress: Boots or comfortable athletic shoes, work clothes, rain gear and appropriate layers.  Volunteers should bring a refillable water bottle.

The Volunteer Work Party is a great way to get involved and interact with other Bicycle Enthusiasts. It is (usually) scheduled for the 4th Thursday of every month from 1-4 at the Bicycle Alliance office, 309A 3rd Ave. S., Seattle, WA 98104. New volunteers are always welcome and encouraged, as we are a very small staff.
