The City of Redmond and the Cascade Land Conservancy joined
together to form the Green Redmond Partnership. It is the
Partnership's goal to bring 1035 acres of Redmond's forested
parkland into active management over the next 20 years. Active
management allows Redmond's forests to remain an important element
of the native ecosystem.
To ensure our forests stay healthy, volunteers are needed to work in
the parks removing non-native invasive plants. The next work
party is Saturday, June 27 from 9am to noon at Idylwood Park, 3650
West Lake Sammamish Parkway NE. No prior experience is
necessary and tools and gloves are provided. This event is
part of a series of work parties - "Last Saturday" of each month
through October.
For information on the work party, contact Chris Tolonen at
ctolonen@redmond.gov or 425-556-2369. For the full "Last
Saturday" schedule, visit

Green Redmond Partnership, contact Teresa Kluver at
