Celebrate Earth Day by getting your hands dirty at the Seminary Hill Natural Area on Saturday, April 22, during a public work party.
The all-ages volunteer effort will offer opportunities to remove invasive ivy, maintain trails and work alongside other people who love nature and community service.
“This is always one of our most popular events of the year,” said Brian Mittge, president of the Friends of the Seminary Hill Natural Area. “We see young kids, students, families and senior citizens all working together to take care of our shared natural resource. It’s really inspiring — and fun.”
The event runs from 9 a.m. to noon at the Barner Drive entrance to the natural area just east of downtown Centralia. Credit for community service hours will be available for high school students in need before graduation.
Bring along gloves and sturdy shoes. Tools will be available, but you may also bring your own.
Free refreshments will be provided by local businesses and the Friends of the Seminary Hill Natural Area, which hosts this work party as well as free nature events throughout the year.
