Clark County – Looking to get outside and perform some community service on Martin Luther King Jr. Day? Clark County Parks is on the lookout for volunteers to help out with a project at Whipple Creek Regional Park on Jan. 16.

The project, which begins at 9 a.m. and ends at noon, involves removing plant protectors from a mitigation planting site as well as cutting blackberries from a future planting area. Those interested can meet in the parking lot at 17202 N.W. 21st Ave. Because there is limited parking, volunteers are encouraged to carpool.

Tools, gloves and light refreshments will be provided at the event, which will take place rain or shine.

To register for the event, visit www.clark.wa.gov/public-works/volunteer or call (360) 397-6118 ext. 1627. Teens and children younger than 18 must provide a signed minor consent form, which is available at www.clark.wa.gov/public-works/volunteer-forms.
