The Highlands neighborhood and EarthCorps will hold a restoration work party from 9 a.m. to noon at Cotton Hill Park on Aug. 18.

EarthCorps and Kirkland Parks will provide tools, gloves, water, coffee and light refreshments. Dress for the weather and wear layers of comfortable clothing, sturdy shoes or boots, a water bottle, long sleeves and pants for protection from thorns and work gloves if you have your own.

All Kirkland residents are invited to participate. Youths 14 to 17 years must either be accompanied by an adult, bring a signed waiver form or bring a parent/guardian to sign them in. Youth waiver forms can be obtained in advance from the City or EarthCorps websites or at www.greenkirkland.org.

Advance signup is important for planning purposes. Volunteers who show up on the day are also welcome. Please contact Chris LaPointe if you have questions about the event: chris@earthcorps.org.
