The more we at GSP learn about Seattle’s Parks Legacy Plan, the more worried we get. This Plan basically determines what the Parks Levy or Parks District will fund, and it currently under-funds the Green Seattle Partnership by $1.5 million every year. We need $3.6 million in capital funds every year to restore our forests by 2025, and the Plan only includes $2.1 million per year.
We need you to show the Plan’s Citizen Advisory Committee that Seattle cares about GSP! There are two things you can do, and one is very easy:
We need everyone to email the committee:
- When: by Thursday, 12/12
- What: check out and personalize our draft email here
- Who: parkslegacy@seattle.gov. To triple your impact, also cc: Parks Department stafferic.friedli@seattle.gov and city council champion sally.bagshaw@seattle.gov. And please BCC me (wbrinkley@forterra.org) so I know how many people are writing in.
