Join Green Kirkland Partnership and Forterra at Crestwoods Park in Kirkland to help mitigate the impact of Pearl Jam’s 2009 world tour.

Volunteers will plant hundreds of trees and remove invasive blackberry plants. Pearl Jam fans are strongly encouraged to join this family-friendly event. There will be Pearl Jam music, trivia and volunteers can win cool swag donated by the band.

The restoration project runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11 at Crestwoods Park, 1818 6th St. Kirkland.

Bring your lunch and (optionally) your favorite gloves and a water bottle. Tools and water will be provided.

Dress for the weather and wear layers.

This event is suitable for adults, teens and families. Minors under the age of 14 years must be accompanied by an adult. Youth 14-17 should be accompanied by an adult, or bring a signed waiver form, or a parent/guardian to sign you in.

Last year Pearl Jam partnered with Forterra to mitigate 7,000 metric tons of carbon emitted during their 2009 world tour. Together they are restoring 33 acres of forested parkland in Kent, Kirkland, Seattle and Redmond.

These restoration efforts are part of Forterra’s Green Cities Partnerships, programs with cities and the community that restore our beloved forested parklands.
