Vancouver, WA  ̶  A project at Whipple Creek Regional Park in conjunction with Martin Luther King Jr. day has been postponed because of the deep snow that has blanketed Clark County.

The event is rescheduled for 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Jan. 21. At it, participants will remove plant protectors from a mitigation planting site and cut blackberries from a future planting area.

Volunteers should wear long pants, closed-toe shoes and weather-appropriate clothing. Tools, gloves and light refreshments will be provided.

To register for the event, go to www.clark.wa.gov/public-works/volunteer or call (360) 397-6118 ext. 1627. Teens and children younger than 18 must provide a signed minor consent form, which is available at www.clark.wa.gov/public-works/volunteer-forms.

This and other events improve communities and honor King, the revered civil rights leader assassinated in 1968. Congress designated Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a national day of service in 1994.
