City of Kent Parks is sponsoring two community volunteer events in April.
Earth Day will be celebrated on Saturday, April 19 at Morrill Meadows Park on the East Hill. Between the parking lot and the woods is an area that will look a lot different after volunteers remove invasive blackberry roots and plant 22 trees.
Arbor Day is Saturday, April 26 at West Fenwick Park on the West Hill. Volunteers are really transforming the park, and for this event they will clear invasive weeds and plant over 70 ground-cover plants plus one big, beautiful tree.
Both Saturday events start at 9 a.m. and end at noon, rain or shine. Pre-registration is required to keep events manageable and safe for everyone. The deadline is April 16 for Morrill Meadows Park and April 23 for West Fenwick Park.
Register at KentWA.gov/ComeVolunteer. Students and others needing community service hours may also register for upcoming Green Kent work parties run by trained volunteer park stewards.
