Green Tacoma Day – October 9, 2021
Tacoma’s parks and open spaces need your help! These natural resources provide people with clean air, clean water, and access to nature. Keeping them healthy is a community effort. Join other volunteers this fall as we work to keep Tacoma green and volunteer at one of our events happening around the city!
The Green Tacoma Partnership invites businesses, community groups, families and individuals to participate in Green Tacoma Day on Saturday, Oct. 9. Participants can volunteer to plant trees, remove weeds and litter, connect with the community, and provide a helping hand to local green spaces.
