50 Volunteers at Q Laundry “You Clean UP Pretty Good” Fairhaven Trail Work Party

August 28, 2015 by Todd Elsworth

Big Shouts OUT to all the volunteers who showed up to help us clean up the trail and make it all pretty to walk along. We had local business support from Q Laundry and Stones Throw Brewery. Regulars from the Bellingham Fairhaven Lions and Boy Scout Troop 7 worked great with our loyal CREW that has been with us since the beginning or joined us along the way.

Thank you to Chris Mellick, RRAD (Run, Ride And DIG) and WMBC (Whatcom Mountain Bike Coalition) for the tools and direction to create the experience of a trail that feels like it’s been there for years.

Thank you to Michael Plummer, our Trail CREW leader who helped direct the flow and make everything go smoothly. The appreciation wouldn’t be complete without recognizing Rae Edwards from COB Parks and Recreation Volunteer Program.

Yes, we will be having another work party in September and a ribbon cutting ceremony as well. Stay tuned!

Here’s some of the photos from the full photo album on Facebook/RecreationNorthwest.
