Last month, community stewardship was in full bloom as United Hub and the Green Redmond Partnership co-hosted a "Plant Swap + Picnic" park restoration party. We had a crew of all ages come together to removes invasive plants from Idylwood Park - even recruiting some onlookers throughout the day! Volunteers enjoyed lunch provided by United Hub, presented plants they brought from home to swap with one another, and gave tips on how to best care for them. The event wrapped up with a restorative tai-chi session in the newly restored park, led by a grandmother who had stumbled across the event on a day out with her grandson, both of whom now hold special memories about their spontaneous adventure caring for our natural resources. To take part in similar events, check out the Green Redmond Partnership events calendar.

Thank you all who joined us for our first ever Climate Trivia Night! It was wonderful to see community members come out and learn about Redmond's environmental efforts, impacts of climate change, and how each one of us can take action. Our winners took home gift cards, picnic kits, and many new trivia facts. Submit your climate questions in the comments for a chance to see them featured at our next event, and stay tuned for more opportunities to take climate action with you community!
