A Winter Work Party at Twin Ponds

Shoreline, WALocal News

On January 18, 2025, Twin Ponds will host a community work party from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM, inviting local residents to participate in maintaining the park. Volunteers will convene on the far northwest side, along 155th Street, west of the parking lot, to undertake various tasks aimed at enhancing the park's natural beauty. Participants are encouraged to bring gloves and a water bottle to ensure they are prepared for the work ahead. The event highlights the importance of community involvement in environmental stewardship, especially during the winter months when maintenance is crucial. As trees stand bare and fallen leaves decompose into rich soil, volunteers will play a vital role in promoting ecological health.

This initiative not only fosters a sense of community but also encourages people to take an active role in caring for their local environment. By participating, individuals can make a tangible impact in their community while enjoying the outdoors. The effort underscores the sentiment that "many hands make light work," showcasing the power of collective action in preserving local parks.
