Green Kirkland Partnership

“Conserving and sustaining natural areas for the benefit and enjoyment of current and future generations.”

The Green Kirkland Partnership is an alliance between the City of Kirkland, nonprofit partners, businesses and the community to restore more than 400 acres of natural areas in the City. The Partnership seeks to remove invasive plants in city parks and plant native species. This ambitious goal cannot be achieved without the help of volunteers.

The Plan that Guides Us
The City of Kirkland is committed to preserve, protect and sustain its natural resources. The Green Kirkland Partnership was created in response to the crisis that if forested areas are not cared for now, they will not be alive in future years to be enjoyed. The Partnership has developed a 20-Year Forest Restoration Plan that outlines a sustainable forest restoration program.
