KirklandWeeds is Keeping Kirkland Beautiful

 

There’s a new, fun volunteer project in town run by Kirkland residents for the benefit of Kirkland residents and is not a City run program or event.

 

The covid-19 crisis has cut into the city’s revenue and ability to hire summer landscapers. So Kirkland residents are picking up the slack to help out. Contact Us if you would like to volunteer.

We are back at 116th and 124th at the 76 gas station on the 20th. Come join us for some weeding in the morning.

Join Our Volunteers

Our Schedule

We work weeding from 8ish to 12 noon…..9 is fine too, Monday to Friday. But any time that is convenient for you is fine with us.

Enlist A Friend

As you travel around the city and see areas that you could beautify, enlist a friend, take your tools and yard waste bags and make a difference. This is a great way to meet up with friends while maintaining social distancing.

It may be a curb that is overgrown with weeds, or a street gutter that needs sweeping or ivy that needs cutting, or an area on a sidewalk that needs attention.

To join the Weed Team, check the calendar below. For safety’s sake we are not allowed to work on the street medians.
