The Green Redmond Partnership joins the City of Redmond, the civic community,
and Cascade Land Conservancy to restore Redmond's forested parks and greenbelts.
Urban greenspaces are vital to cities and, in the Puget Sound, we are fortunate
to have a legacy of forested parklands. Redmond's parks and greenbelts
strengthen local neighborhoods and offer numerous valuable services as part of
the "green infrastructure". They provide us with clean water and air, flood and
erosion control, noise buffers, habitat for local wildlife, increased property
values, and recreational opportunities. The success of the Green Redmond
Partnership is dependent on community participation and is striving to protect
the important legacy of beautiful native spaces for our children and great
grandchildren. Visit
www.greenredmond.org to learn how you can participate.
