The City of Redmond needs volunteers to work in the parks removing non-native invasive plants. The next work party is from 9 a.m.-noon Saturday, Sept. 26 at Idylwood Park, 3650 West Lake Sammamish Pkwy. No prior experience is necessary and tools and gloves are provided. This event is part of a series of work parties – “Last Saturday” of each month through October.

The City of Redmond and the Cascade Land Conservancy joined together to form the Green Redmond Partnership. It is the Partnership’s goal to bring 1,035 acres of Redmond’s forested parkland into active management over the next 20 years. Active management allows Redmond’s forests to remain a healthy and important element of the native ecosystem.

For information on the upcoming work party, contact Chris Tolonen at ctolonen@redmond.gov or (425) 556-2369. For the full “Last Saturday” schedule, visit www.greenredmond.org. For general information about the Green Redmond Partnership, contact Teresa Kluver at tkluver@redmond.gov or (425) 556-2355.
