May 19 will mark the 12th year volunteers have participated in building and maintaining Kent’s 26.2 miles of trails.
This year, Lake Fenwick Park’s east ridge trail will get some TLC.
The event will take place Saturday morning, 9 a.m. to noon, rain or shine. Volunteers are asked to dress for the weather (no sandals or flip-flops) and bring a shovel, pruners or lopping shears.
Starbucks on 4th and Meeker provides coffee and hot chocolate. Water also will be available, and volunteers are encouraged to bring their own water containers and refill from our cooler to reduce waste in our landfills.
To keep our event manageable and safe, volunteers are asked to register by noon on Wednesday, May 16. Registration forms are at www.KentWAParks.com. Click on Volunteer. Or call 253-856-5110.
