As Spring quickly approaches, consider the option of volunteering for a work party on a weekend or two. Many local and state organizations will be working towards developing and restoring habitat, parks and trails. Not only will you be doing your part to maintain the trails and parks that we all love to explore, but you can't help but get an awesome workout to boot (just remember to keep that neutral spine while shoveling and digging!). Get a group together or go by yourself. There is nothing like a rewarding day of hard work, fresh air, and giving back to the community and environment. Try it out and let me know how it goes!
Below are a few sites that offer work parties:
Washington Trail Association, Work Parties
Washington DNR, Volunteer Calendar
City of Bellingham, Work Parties
(Many cities have work party schedules of their own, check out the city nearest you!)
