The Washington Trails Association (WTA) led a work party at Seminary Hill Natural Area in Centralia on Saturday, Aug. 29.
It was the second of three work parties at the natural area planned by the WTA.
The work parties are tailored to those with a military background, and give veterans and service members from all branches a chance to form-up, build camaraderie, enjoy the outdoors, and maintain hiking trails, according to event organizers.
The WTA has been working at the Seminary Hill Natural Area for several years now, helping map and lay out the foundation of the accessible trail and rerouting some of the main trails to reduce erosion damage and runoff.
“Working with the WTA has been a delight and a real benefit for our community. Their expertise and ability to bring people from around the state to Centralia has been so impressive and helpful,” event organizers said. “The fact that they have an outreach program aimed at the abilities, outlook and needs of veterans is really cool — and the fact that the Seminary Hill Natural Area benefits from their project is just icing on the cake.”
