MLK Day Volunteering Event

Mercer Island MLK Day Volunteering Event

Join us in restoring the Lake Washington shoreline in Luther Burbank Park for MLK Day this year. Volunteers will work together as a team using wheelbarrows, rakes, and pruning tools to:

• Spread mulch to improve soil health on an old trail and
• Create ivy rings around large canopy trees that shade and protect the shoreline.

This project is an important step in a larger effort to build a new trail and protect the delicate lakeside habitat for wildlife.

• When: Saturday, January 21, 10am-1pm
• Where: Luther Burbank Park near the railroad playground https://goo.gl/maps/sDdQj9x3VkLL2LLy7
• What to bring: Dress for the weather in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty (long pants, boots or sneakers) and bring water. Snacks, warm drinks, gloves and tools will be provided.
