Urban forest restoration in 2,500 acres of city parks in OUR community by 2025!

Urban forests help clean the air and water, prevent erosion, retain storm water runoff, and provide habitat for urban wildlife. Urban forests are essential members of a vibrant, livable and safe neighborhoods!

A key to our collective success bringing the 20-year Strategic Plan to life as a Partnership are the GSP Working Circles: small groups with expertise in a given topic that will lead analyses and evaluation, inform programming direction, and expand relationships.

Throughout the year, our Working Circles have been info gathering by learning from GSP partners, program participants, city departments/programs and other ecological restoration programs.
After we get a lay of the land, we will start to make recommendations on implementing changes for GSP across multiple Working Circles.
Thank you to Daybreak Star Indian Cultural Center and Jefferson Park for hosting us!

These Circles include:
• Cooperative Partnership Structure
• New Relationships
• Fiscal Resilience
• Student Engagement
• Career Pathways
• Restoration Assessment
• Knowledge Sharing

What's new with GSP this month?

Our view of conservation can be more than caring for plants and wildlife – it can include caring for the places we call home and the relationships we build with one another. This September, organizations across Seattle and Yakima are coming together to celebrate those connections through Latine Conservation Month, with the hopes of creating opportunities for community members to spend time outdoors, learn about the natural work, and participate in actively caring for our shared green spaces.

For more information about Latine Conservation Month events happening in Seattle and Yakima, visit Front and Centered and explore the full event calendar.

Mark your calendars!

Green Seattle Partnership is excited to invite you to join us for this year’s Seattle Forest Week from November 7th – 15th!

Multiple events are hosted throughout the week by your favorite GSP partners! Keep an eye out on GSP's Instagram page for event announcements in early October!

This is the time of year that we get together with our neighbors to kick off tree planting season. The City of Seattle and community partners will host events all week long across the city, where hundreds of community members will join together to add more trees and native plants to our urban greenspaces. This is climate action! We will work together to increase tree canopy, biodiversity, healthy habitats for people and our non-human neighbors. All community members are welcome, and no experience is necessary. Events are family friendly and open to all ages.

To see all the events during Seattle Forest Week, visit our website at: www.seattleforestweek.org (link in bio!)
