The Green Seattle Partnership is holding a Forest Steward Orientation on April 4, 2009 from 10:00am to 2:30pm at the Seward Park Environmental & 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 is to restore, maintain, and steward Seattle’s forested parklands. We will build on restoration work that is already underway with a citywide goal of restoring 2,500 acres of forested parkland by 2025. Meeting this goal will be a tremendous effort, but it also has the opportunity to bring extraordinary benefits to all of us who live in Seattle.
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.
