The 5th Annual Green Seattle Day is coming up on November 6, and our local greenbelt is one of 20 sites around the city with an event!

Cheasty Greenspace is our neighborhood urban forest and the Mt. View section is a 10 acre parcel on the SW corner of Columbian and Mt. View Drive, just south of NRV. There has been a dedicated group of volunteers who have been working for the last few years to make these woods safe and accessible for our whole community with monthly cleanups and two DON Small and Simple grants. For Green Seattle, they have over 200 trees to plant and would love some volunteers.

More information about the restoration efforts for Mt. View, please visit CheastyMtView.com or Cheasty Mt. View’s page on Facebook.

Saturday, November 6
10am-2pm

Please register to come out and plant trees and continue the work in our local greenspace.
