Milestone: Youths, volunteers hit the trail for MLK Day

Several community groups came together to make the Olympic Peninsula a cleaner place to live.

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, youths from the Sequim Boys & Girls Club hosted members of the North Olympic Land Trust and Port Angeles School District AmeriCorps program, with about 70 individuals participating.

After a lunch, participants split up into four locations along the Olympic Discovery Trail in need of general trail maintenance such as trash pick-up, vegetation removal, cutting back moss that is creeping over the trail, and cutting back brush.
