MLK Jr. Day 2025 Stewardship Events with Green Kirkland

Next date: Monday, January 20, 2025 | 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM

Join the Green Kirkland Partnership for a day of habitat stewardship on MLK Jr. Day Monday January 20, 2025 at a volunteer stewardship event in Kirkland Parks. 

Volunteers will help restore critical habitat by removing invasive plants such as blackberry or ivy, planting native plants, and pitching-in with stewardship tasks like mulching and weeding. With your help, your parks will have healthy and thriving natural areas for years to come!
