Mission Statement
“To conserve and sustain 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 and the community to restore natural areas in the City. The City of Kirkland is fortunate to have more than 500 acres of park lands - 372 acres are natural areas such as forests, streams, wetlands and native vegetation. 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.

20-Year Forest Restoration Plan
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.
