Scouts to clean up Centennial Trail
Scouts from Snohomish County plan to participate again this year in the annual Scout Community Service Day project to clean up Snohomish County’s Centennial Trail.
In cooperation with Snohomish County Parks and Recreation, Scouts will clean and make improvements along the 17-mile public trail.
The annual Mount Baker Council, Klahaya District Scout Community Service Day project is Saturday and will involve more than 400 local Scouts.
Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Girl Scouts and Venturing crews will work together on the trail’s spring cleanup project.
Projects include painting safety posts and fences; washing safety gates, picnic tables, benches and bridges; trimming overgrowth; and edging the paved trail.
The Centennial Trail, constructed on railroad right-of-way, connects Snohomish and Arlington and provides a recreational trail for walking, bicycling, hiking and horseback riding.
The park also serves as a conservation corridor protecting natural and cultural resources. Development of the trail began in 1989 during the Washington state centennial.
