Forterra, in partnership with Green Redmond, will host a Martin Luther King Jr. Day Restoration Event from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Jan. 21 at Grass Lawn Park, Westside Park and the Watershed Preserve.

They will celebrate the legacy of King Jr. by caring for native trees and shrubs and protecting individuals' environmental health and the future of the parks.

They will supply all of the tools, materials, plants and gloves. Attendees are asked to dress for the weather and wear shoes that can get a little dirty, and bring a water bottle and a snack.
