Mainttaining those highly popular interpretive signs along the Tommy Thompson Trail in Anacortes between 34th Street and March Point. These signs are being replaced (due to manufacturing defects) with help from the City of Anacortes.
We need a few volunteers who would be willing to work on removing the old signs and cleaning the frames before the new signs are installed. Work should happen in February but volunteers can set their own schedule.
