City of Shoreline
Forest Restoration

Welcome to the Green Shoreline Partnership!  To register to volunteer, visit our online portal CEDAR.  Any questions or need more information?  Email Joy Wood at stewardship@restorationad.com.

We invite you and your community to join the City of Shoreline’s Forest Stewards to perform ecological restoration in Shoreline’s forested parks!

No experience necessary - just bring your enthusiasm and determination for community-engaged restoration at any of the parks listed below.  We welcome individuals, families, and groups who would like to do good removing noxious weeds and installing native plants for healthier forests throughout Shoreline!  

We work in the following city parks:

• Boeing Creek near the Shoreview dog park

• Brugger's Bog

• Darnell

• Echo Lake

• Hamlin

• Hillwood

• Meridian

• North City

• Northcrest

• Paramount Open Space

• Richmond Beach Community Park

• Richmond Beach Saltwater Park

• Shoreline

• Twin Ponds Park

We will provide tools.  Please bring a water bottle, layers for the weather, and tough shoes and clothes that can get muddy.  Bring gloves if you have them, but we have some that you can borrow.

We aim to engage Shoreline residents, community groups, and others in recognizing the vital advantages our urban forests contribute to Shoreline’s environmental, social, and economic well-being.  Urban forests provide many benefits including, but not limited to:

• Enhanced human wellness

• Improved air quality and mitigated wind effects

• Reduction in stormwater runoff and erosion, which ameliorates flooding issues

• Increased shade and cooling for our city homes and businesses, and fish-bearing streams, such as Thornton Creek

• Enhancement of wildlife habitat

We look forward to restoring with you!
