STEILACOOM – A Parks & Trails work party will take place Sunday, January 5 (1-3 p.m.), on the Backbone Trail in the back of the Madrona Park area.
The Backbone Trail is a walking path that goes from the top of Chambers Bay Drive to Puget Drive. Volunteers will meet at 1 p.m. at the end of Queets Street, which is toward the Chambers Bay Dr. side of the trail. Water, fruit, and light refreshments will be on hand.
Goals:
- remove ivy and blackberry vines which are growing onto the pathway
- remove some of the dirt that has washed up onto the steps
- remove graffiti which is present along the lower part of the trail.
- have an enjoyable and productive afternoon with great company!
Work gloves, shovels, eye protection, and hoes will be available. You are welcome to bring your own work gloves and tools if you would like.
