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 Tacoma 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 Tacoma Partnership

The Green Tacoma Partnership is a public-private partnership between the City of Tacoma, Metro Parks, Forterra, citizens, educational organizations, neighborhood groups, non-profits, faith-based organizations, and businesses all working together to sustain a viable healthy network of natural spaces throughout Tacoma.

By working with local park restoration groups, the Partnership supports the hands-on restoration of its local green spaces. Restoration work parties take place continually throughout the year; this work is integral to the restoration of Tacoma's forested parkland and greenbelts.
