Day in the Greenway
Saturday, May 17, 2008
D.I.G. brings volunteers of all ages out to projects across the Greenway landscape where we'll be working to build and maintain trails and doing environmental restoration. After the morning projects, everyone will meet back at Lake Sammamish State Park for a FREE BBQ and volunteer recognition ceremony!
This year there are 6!!! projects available, and space at each one is limited! Click "sign up" to register for an event, or email us at volunteer@mtsgreenway.org if you have any questions.
