Volunteers are wanted to clean up parks as part of Green Kent Day from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Help is needed to remove invasive plants, plant native trees and shrubs and to celebrate the city’s Green Kent stewards.

Green Kent is a 20-year partnership with Forterra, the Kent Parks Foundation and REI to restore and manage 1,344 acres of urban forests and natural areas in the city.

The work projects on Oct. 27 are at Morrill Meadows Park and the Green River Natural Resources Area.

Advance registration is required.
