"Poncho" Walk heads to Hilltop
 Sunday, December 2 1:30 pm This month's "Poncho Walk" will begin at the picnic shelter at Battle Point Park, where Deborah Cheadle and Andrew Price will share some short stories about Prue Trudgian, the original owner of the Hilltop Property.
From Battlepoint Park, we'll walk the Forest to Sky Trail, through the Grand Forest to Prue's house at Hilltop. Sturdy, comfortable shoes and waterproof clothing is advised, a poncho being perfect. Dogs on leash are allowed. Hot beverages and homemade treats will be served. The walks are designed to help people stay active all year, rain or shine, and make some friends along the way.

Cheers for the Student Conservation Corps!
 The Student Conservation Corps completed four successful work parties this fall with the Weed Warriors, culminating in a planting party at Blakely Harbor Park. A Washington Foundation For the Environment $1000 grant purchased several hundred native plants which we tucked into the ground in a modified rain garden. This site will be monitored, weeded and watered for the next few years by SCoCo during upcoming summer sessions with the Park District. |
