QUILCENE — Volunteers will remove trash and invasive plants from the Quilcene River watershed Saturday in recognition of National Public Lands Day.
Participants will start the day with a required safety meeting at 9 am at the Quilcene Ranger Station, 295142 U.S. Highway 101, before driving into the forest for the cleanup.
The Quilcene River watershed supplies drinking water for Port Townsend.
The event is held in partnership with the Jefferson County 4-H Stewardship Program, the city of Port Townsend and the U.S. Forest Service.
Volunteers need to register beforehand so organizers can supply tools and organize groups.
To register, phone Jefferson County 4-H coordinator Sue Hay at 360-379-5610, ext. 208, or email shay@jefferson.wsu.edu.
