The Green Kent program is looking for volunteers to help take care of city parks.

Volunteers are wanted to become stewards for the Green Kent Partnership to help restore city parks and open spaces.

An orientation is set for 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, March 23 at the Kent Senior Activity Center, 600 E. Smith St.

The orientation will provide explain how to get involved as a steward of your own restoration site or supporting other stewards. You will also get a basic understanding of “tree-iage” and the four phases of restoration, plus have a lot of hands-on fun learning planting techniques and invasive removal.
