On Saturday, January 19th, we had our first Good Steward Group event. We teamed up with Friends of Madrona Woods. The Friends of Madrona Woods is a neighborhood group that has recently daylighted a portion of Madrona Woods Creek and reconnected it to Lake Washington. To read further about the project, read this recent article in the Seattle PI.
The kickoff event was fantastic! Eleven people showed up from our group and contributed 31.5 volunteer hours by moving hundreds of newly arrived native plants for installation and clearing a mountain of invasive blackberry and ivy.
A big thank you goes to all of you who came out for this kickoff event and to the Friends of Madrona Woods for allowing us to come help with their project.

The Good Steward Group Vision
Our vision is to provide a ministry that brings together Christians who recognize our responsibility to actively care for God's creation.
The Good Steward Group is a loose group of Christian individuals who share an interest in the environment and want to actively participate in environmental change. We accomplish this through partnering with existing environmentally focused non-profit groups in the greater Seattle area to assist them with their projects. By partnering with existing groups, we hope to spread the message of God's love with others, take part in a diverse range of environmental projects, and learn about what others are doing.
We encourage everyone of all ages who has a heart for Christ and the earth to participate. Suggestions of non-profit groups that we could partner with are always welcome. Post your suggestions as a comment to this post.
