ABOUT US
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.
The Green Kirkland Partnership will be hosting work parties at four different parks this year. Cotton Hill is the newest addition to the effort to eradicate invasive plants and replant natives.
