Finishing Trail Work at Top of La-Z-Boy

Friends, followers and trailbuilders, This Saturday we’ll finish the top half of the La-Z-Boy trail. We’re rerouting a section, doing drainage work, and capping the upper half of the trail with crushed rock. So we’ll be moving lots of rock with wheelbarrows. We need all the help we can get. We’ll also be finishing up the route finding and flagging of our next trail. We’re excited to be putting the finishing touches on La-Z-Boy, and hope you’ll join us.

The gate to Little Mountain Park opens at 10:00 am. We start the day with fresh Starbucks Coffee, pastries from Haggen Foods and a clean portable restroom. This is a family friendly activity and volunteers are welcome to come and go as their schedule permits.

Earth Clubs Plant Native Plants at Little Mountain

Burlington-Edison and Mount Vernon High School plant trees.

Last trailbuilding session the Burlington-Edison and Mount Vernon High School Earth Clubs teamed up to plant over 300 native plants on our upper trail called “Sidewinder”. They did an excellent job and now lead our group competition with the most volunteer trail builder hours. Last year’s winning group (Shell Refinery of Anacortes) follows them in second. We hope that other groups will step-up in 2011.

We'd also like to say thank you to Skagit Wholesale Plants for donating the native plants for this revegetation project.
