Join us at Rainier Beach Urban Farm and Wetlands for a celebration event rooted in community to help kick off Seattle Forest Week. There will be plantings led by the Rainier Beach Youth Stewards, art activities for all ages, and a meal highlighting apple varieties with Community Kitchens. We hope to see you there!

If you’d like to volunteer to help at this event, please sign up for a shift!

What is Seattle Forest Week?

Seattle Forest Week is a celebration of the Urban Forest: This week’s events are great opportunities to join in on planting, forest bathing, bird & plant walks, and helping shape what future participation can look like! This year the theme is Nurturing Forests and Futures: Youth Engagement in Seattle’s Urban Forest.

What is Green Seattle Day?

Green Seattle Day began in 2005 to celebrate the dedication of Green Seattle Partnership volunteers and community groups working to restore and preserve our city’s greenspaces. As the Green Seattle Partnership expanded its reach, a single day was no longer sufficient to kick off the planting season; thus, Seattle Forest Week was born! Green Seattle Day now marks the first day of Seattle Forest Week activities.
