Description


Join the City of Olympia and partners in celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with a volunteer service project at Squaxin Park. We will restore crucial habitats to their intended state by removing English ivy and spreading wood chips to suppress regrowth. Tools, gloves, and light refreshments will be provided. Dress for the weather and wear your boots! We will meet at a small shelter located in the southeast area of the park. See the map below, and directional signs will be posted.
