About Eco Fridays:
Hosted by Bellevue Parks & Community Services, Eco Fridays are community volunteer events held on Fridays at various parks throughout the city. These events provide a unique opportunity for businesses to participate in the stewardship and care of Bellevue's Parks and Open Space System. Our volunteer projects are tailored to meet the needs of your group.
Volunteers will plant trees and shrubs, restore trails and remove noxious weeds in Bellevue parks. At Eco Fridays, volunteers work in groups, and the city encourages people to form groups before signing up for a project. Individuals can still participate, after being assigned to a group. All children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. (i.e. 1:1 ratio) and cannot be left unattended with city staff if the project ends early.
Please bring sturdy shoes or boots, work gloves, water, layers of comfortable clothing, long pants, and rain gear (if necessary). Volunteer events will be held rain or shine, but may be cancelled if severe weather conditions are forecasted. Each volunteer must sign (or have signed by their parent or legal guardian) a liability waiver.
