Keep Seattle Green
Seattle magazine’s Earth Day 5K will benefit the Green Seattle Partnership, a program to restore our beloved forested parklands that clean our air, filter our water and beautify our city. This unique partnership, between Forterra, our region’s largest conservation and community building organization and the City of Seattle is empowering residents to save our ailing parks from harmful invasive species. Every year, thousands of volunteers come out to plant native trees and shrubs, remove noxious plants and connect with nature and their neighbors.
Volunteer and Sponsorship Opportunities
There is an exciting job for everyone, including individuals, teams, school groups, corporate groups, friends and family. We couldn’t make this race happen without our amazing force, so come out and support a green Seattle! Please contact Katie Williams at katie.williams@tigeroak.com to get involved with this awesome event!
Special Thank You to Our Sponsors
