For the Reporter
Volunteers are invited to join the Green Kent Partnership (GKP) Saturday, Oct. 25, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. for a morning of restoration work and community camaraderie in celebration of the third annual Green Kent Day.
The event is a celebration of the GKP’s work, restoring more than 1,300 acres of publicly owned forests and natural areas.
All are welcome and no experience is necessary for participation in restoration and planting projects.
Volunteers are needed at the Green River Natural Resources Area, located just north of 22306 Russell Road, and at Morrill Meadows Park, 10600 SE 248th.
A barbecue lunch at that site will be provided at noon to volunteer groups, thanks to support from Farrington Court.
Registration is required at kentwa.gov/ComeVolunteer.
Green Kent Day is part of the fall Green City Days series, which is expected to attract more than 2,000 participants from throughout the Puget Sound region to celebrate the benefits of urban natural areas and forests.
Kent, Everett, Kirkland, Redmond, Seattle, and Tacoma make up the Green Cities Network that collectively works to restore more than 7,500 acres of publicly owned urban natural areas and forests.
