Green Seattle Day celebrates city's forested parks

Sharing is caring!

Join Nature Consortium and the Green Seattle Partnership to celebrate and restore Seattle’s beautiful forested parks for the 8^th annual Green Seattle Day on Saturday, November 2^nd from 10am to 2pm.

Green Seattle Day is a meaningful way to connect with nature and create a healthy and vibrant community by volunteering to plant native trees and shrubs in a park near you. The event takes place in 17 parks city-wide.

West Seattle’s own West Duwamish Greenbelt is this year’s central hub site, which will be hosted by Nature Consortium and Forterra. The event will feature live music by local musicians, and one lucky volunteer will win an REI camping tent.

The Green Seattle Partnership is a collaboration between the City of Seattle, non-profit partners, and thousands of committed volunteers that seek to create a sustainable network of healthy forested parklands by removing invasive weeds and replanting with native shrubs and trees.  Without a coordinated effort, Seattle is at risk of losing 70% of its forests in just 20 years.

Green Seattle Day is a celebration of Seattle’s 2500 acres of forested parks and the committed neighbors who care for them.  We supply all tools and supplies. So grab a water bottle and a few friends, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to have fun in the forest.
