About this Event
Spend your Saturday with the Land Trust as we head into some cozier weather and fall in love with this Westside gem! We'll be lopping sections of trail clearing it from vegetation encroachment, removing weeds off picnic areas, and removing invasives like English Ivy, allowing surrounding trees and plants to thrive.
Come learn more about the volunteer program, future opportunities, and meet other outdoor enthusiasts like you!
All ages are welcome!
Coffee, snacks, and post-work cold refreshments provided.
