Help chip the N 198th St Trail on Saturday April 24

From Ann Erickson

Hillwood Community Network (formerly Hillwood Neighborhood Association) is holding an Earth Day Event on Saturday, April 24 from 10 am to 12 noon to spread chips on the N 198th St Trail at Fremont Ave N and N 198th St., All neighbors are welcome to join us. We have five yards of chips to move. Bring a shovel or a rake and wear gloves because chips have splinters!

Many neighbors have already put in many hours on our little trail and it is looking good. The native plants put in are growing and will build a nice understory. This time we will put chips on the trail to give a good walking surface. This is a great chance to be outside and do some community improvement.

All of Hillwood should be proud of this beautiful spot. It is one of the nice little secret places that help make it a neighborhood. Join us to continue this work and meet some neighbors.

Soon you should see an Adopt a Trail sign appearing here. We are going to have the first Adopt a Trail sign in the city. Our work here is starting a new trend.
