The City of Kirkland has a considerable wealth of forested parklands, most of which are maintained as natural areas for wildlife habitat and passive recreation.  These parks and greenbelts strengthen local neighborhoods, improve property values, and make communities attractive places to live.    

The City of Kirkland and Cascade Land Conservancy launched the Green Kirkland Partnership in an effort to tackle the growing invasive species problem and promote community stewardship.  In order to educate youth groups, Kirkland has initiated a summer youth training program known as the Kirkland Youth Employment Program.  This program is designed to educate middle school and high school students about resource management, leadership skills, volunteer management, and provide job skills and career development training. 

Come join our effort. You can volunteer at an on-going work party the first Saturday of every month at Carillon Woods Park. For more information go to the City of Kirkland website.
