The Jefferson Trail and Freshwater Marsh need YOUR help to heal! For three years, we heard you and worked tirelessly to find a solution to the encampment on Jefferson Blvd. With the help of Councilwoman Traci Park, we cleared over 3000+ feet of city right-of-way to stop the environmental destruction. We cleaned the soil, removed the weeds, and now it’s time to replant!

 Don’t miss out on a special opportunity to revitalize a beloved trail!

Registration: Registration is required. You must also sign the digital waiver and watch the instructional safety video before the event.

What to wear: Close-toed shoes are required! We recommend dressing in weather-appropriate layers that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty, along with a hat. Long pants are also recommended to protect against occasional prickly plants.

What to bring: Gardening gloves, a trowel, and a full water bottle to stay hydrated. There are no water fountains or bathrooms on-site. We will provide all other tools and supplies.
