Green Seattle Partnership Reforestation Projects

Green Seattle Partnership is a citywide effort to restore our urban forest parks throughout Seattle with the help of volunteers. We have two very special projects: Seward Park Reforestation Project and Colman Park Reforestation Project

Description:
The Seward Park Reforestation Project began as a result of a million dollar donation to Seattle Parks and Recreation for the restoration of Seward Parks valuable forest. Colman Park Reforestation Project began as a result of a settlement from a neighbor illegally cutting trees in the park for view and it is also in restoration. We owe the success of these projects to the help of volunteers who have spent numerous hours removing invasive plants and replanting native trees and shrubs. These parks are becoming healthier and more enjoyable for wildlife, birds and parks users. Please join us in our efforts to improve and restore these urban forest parks to native wildlife forests for all to enjoy.

History:
Green Seattle Partnership is a partnership between Seattle Parks and Recreation, the owner of the land, Cascade Land Conservancy, the non-profit seeking funds, and the community, volunteers like you that are helping with their gloved hands,one plant at a time to restore our parks. We need you to help Seattle's urban park forests. Please join us any 1st and 3rd Saturday every month at Seward and any 2nd and 4th Saturday each month at Colman Park, always 10 am until 2 pm
