Forest stewards needed
Fri, 02/20/2009
The Green Seattle Partnership is looking for forest stewards and is hosting a Forest Steward Orientation on Saturday, April 4 from
10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Seward Park Environmental and Audubon Center.
This is an opportunity to be a part of an exciting partnership between the City of Seattle, its residents, and the Cascade Land Conservancy.
The purpose of the Green Seattle Partnership (GSP) is to restore, maintain, and steward Seattle’s forested parklands.
They build on restoration work that is already underway with a citywide goal of restoring 2,500 acres of forested parkland by 2025.
The enormous contributions of volunteer restoration groups play an integral role in the success of this effort.
Working with the GSP Project Manager and Parks Urban Forester, the forest stewards will develop site restoration plans and a system for tracking progress. In return, the Forest Steward will be eligible to receive tools, materials, technical assistance and specialized training needed to implement a successful community-based forest restoration project.
