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, July 31 from 9am to noon at Farrel-McWhirter Farm
Park, 19545 Redmond Road. 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. To plan ahead, following are the dates
and locations for the remainder of 2010:
August 28 - Idylwood Park, 3650 West Lake Sammamish Parkway NE
September 25 - Hartman Park, 17300 NE 104th Street
October 30 - Idylwood Park, 3650 West Lake Sammamish Parkway NE
For information on the work parties, contact Chris Tolonen at
ctolonen@redmond.gov or 425-556-2369. For general information about
the Green Redmond Partnership, contact Teresa Kluver at
