*Press Release*
Volunteer Trail Work Party
Saturday, November 18th from 9 am to Noon
An upcoming volunteer work party will focus on the maintenance of City trails near 35th Street
Park to fill low spots, resurfacing the trail along the 33rd Street corridor near Hancock Street.
This pathway is an important connector to the trail system in the 35th Street Park area. Port
Townsend Trail Crew volunteers will haul and spread gravel at low spots to keep this trail above
water during the winter rainy season.
Please meet trail crew volunteers at Hancock and 32nd Streets at 9am on November 11th, where
the gravel pile will be located. Parking is available along the paved residential roads - the easiest
access is to follow Hancock Street north from Hastings Avenue about 4 blocks to 32nd Street.
Please bring:
Wheelbarrows
Shovels and rakes (for moving & spreading gravel)
Pruners & loppers (for overgrown vegetation)
Be sure to wear sturdy work boots and gloves, and dress for the weather – rain or shine, the trail
work will get done! Snacks will be provided afterwards.
