The Green Kent Partnership is a collaboration between the city of Kent, the Kent community, and Cascade Land Conservancy to restore and maintain the natural areas and parks of the city.

By teaching environmental restoration to community volunteers, supporting our stewards who will lead projects at sites throughout the city, and working with contracted crews, we will ensure that Kent’s urban natural areas stay healthy, safe, and sustainable for our future.
