Our Vision

The City of Kent and the Cascade Land Conservancy are partnering with the volunteer community to restore all of Kent's parks and natural areas. This is the next step as we continue the great work we've been doing together.

With the Green Kent Partnership we're thinking bigger, setting more sophisticated goals, and coordinating our efforts across the city for the long term.

What's Happening Now

We're analyzing data, making timelines, and vision into a plan that can carry us forward. We'll be spending the next month finalizing, editing, and printing a 20-year plan for the Green Kent Partnership.

• Volunteering
• Being active in the parks and natural areas
• Removing invasive weeds
• Planting trees, shrubs, and groundcover
• Learning about environmental restoration

• Making change in our community for a healthier environment

Forest Steward Program

Interested in leading your community? Forest Stewards are dedicated volunteers who lead their own restoration project, with support and training from the Green Kent Partnership. The 2010 orientation has been scheduled for Saturday, December 4.  Find out more and sign up to be contacted.

Please contact us with any questions or ideas you have for the program at greenkent@cascadeland.org.
