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, June 26 from 9am to noon at Grass Lawn Park, 7031 148th Avenue NE. 
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:

• July 31 – Farrel-McWhirter Farm Park, 19545 Redmond Road
• 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
