Spring Environmental Education Programs

Seattle Parks and Recreation offers nature and environmental education classes and programs to help community discover the native plants, birds, urban forests, low tide beaches and more across the city. These spring offerings are ready for sign-up now! Use the “register” links below.

If you’re interested in meeting new people, learning new skills, and advocating on behalf of your community, join the Citywide Environmental Education Advisory Council for 2-3 hours per month to help steer Seattle Parks and Recreation staff in presenting and expanding these programs.
