For the Reporter

June 6 marks the 15th year Kent residents have come together to help build and maintain 26-plus miles of trails. This year, volunteers are needed to add a fresh layer of gravel to a well-worn Clark Lake Park trail, SE 240th St., Kent.

The event takes place on that Saturday, 9 a.m.-noon, rain or shine.

Volunteers should wear sturdy boots or shoes and bring a shovel and work gloves if they have them, as tools are limited. Water will also be available, and volunteers are encouraged to bring their personal containers and refill from a cooler to reduce waste in landfills. At the end of the morning, everyone will be treated to pizza, courtesy of Papa John’s.

Interested individuals and groups should plan to register by noon on Wednesday, June 3: kentwa.gov/ComeVolunteer.
