Get Involved

Stewards adopt a park they love and help coordinate a restoration project there. Our Stewards are community leaders and our most dedicated volunteers. No experience is necessary; training, materials, and support from staff are provided.

Restoration Volunteers get involved at work parties by removing aggressive invasive weeds, planting native trees and shrubs, mulching, watering, building trails, and helping to ensure that our natural areas stay healthy. Our volunteers make it all happen – join in!

Sponsors are critical to the success of the Green Seattle Partnership. If your business would like to be a part of this amazing effort, please contact us! There are many ways to help including funding a key piece of the Partnership, making in-kind donations and bringing employees out to volunteer at a work party.

Outreach Supporters help get the word out. If you have contacts at a local media outlet, would be willing to write a letter to your local paper or contact your elected officials, or want to help create or distribute outreach materials, we need you!

Interns help with specific projects, usually in our office. Take a look at Forterra’s intern listings to see if a position is open.

About the Green Kent Partnership

The Green Kent Partnership is a network of healthy urban natural areas supported by an active community of volunteers, nonprofits and government entities.

The City of Kent and Forterra are partnering with the volunteer community to restore all of Kent's parks and natural areas. This is the next step as we continue the great work we've been doing together removing invasive species, planting native ones and building community.

With the Green Kent Partnership we're thinking bigger, setting more sophisticated goals, and coordinating our efforts across the city for the long term.

The Green Kent Partnership is the fifth and newest member of the Green Cities Network.
