Greenbelt Ministry

Our Greenbelt Ministry aspires to encourage our congregation to become more deeply acquainted and involved with the Saint Mark’s Greenbelt. It is managed under a Conservation Agreement, signed in 1996 by the City of Seattle and Saint Mark’s. While Saint Mark’s owns the land, the city is ultimately responsible for maintaining, enhancing and restoring the forest. Greenbelt stewards lead spring and fall work parties with members from our congregation and the community through the Green Seattle Partnership—learn more at greenseattle.org. The Greenbelt Ministry occasionally organizes work parties within the congregation, and also invites the cathedral community into new ways to experience and learn about the trees, plants, and birds in this beautiful forest.
