Project Description

Lincoln Park is a 135-acre green space, located alongside the shores of the Puget Sound, in West Seattle. The park and its urban forests are a much-valued resource to surrounding communities and are on the stolen land of the Coast Salish Peoples (Duwamish, Suquamish and Muckleshoot tribes).

Our hard-working urban forests are threatened by climate change, pollution, increased population/use and introduced plants that can out-compete native trees and plants that provide so many eco-benefits to all that inhabit the city. Friends of Lincoln Park (FliP) is committed to restoring and maintaining the health of these important urban forests while providing year-long volunteer opportunities at restoration events, led by volunteer forest stewards and supported by Green Seattle Partnership. During these events, volunteers have the opportunity to learn about and connect with nature in a safe, welcoming space. FLiP is part of the Green Seattle Partnership.
