Saturday, February 28th was a beautiful day in the Hylebos, and 30 volunteers, an EarthCorps crew and I met at the East Hylebos Ravine to plant the picket fences that have started to gather sediment.
The main fences we planted on were actually on a very steep slope that is eroding. This past winter took down part of a fence, but the others have been holding on and doing their job-catching sediment before it can get to the creek.
I took this photo from the trail, on the other side of the creek.

Students from Green River Community College plant trees on the slope.
Thank you to all the everybody that helped out on Saturday. I had a really great day, and it was because you were all so inspiring.
I also want to add a big note of appreciation to the William and Elizabeth Hyde Fund, whose generous donation made Saturday's event possible!
Groups included: Cub Scout Tiger Den, GRCC students, and TJHS SEE club.
No offense, but if there's a facebook like button, it'll be much easier for me to share.
