Garfield Nature Trail Overlook
Wednesday, June 15th, 7:00PM

The Garfield Nature Trail Overlook, at the corner of Percival and Madison streets on Olympia's Westside, was constructed by volunteers using funds from Olympia's neighborhood grant program. This area used to be a thicket of blackberry and other invasive plants. Thanks to the hard work of volunteers led by Lyle Tribwell, this area now provides an attractive seating area with a great view of the Garfield Nature Trail ravine below. Work party pictures are available for viewing at NWONA’s website at http://www.nwona.org/Photos.htm

This project is a great example of city government helping people help themselves and helping improve the beauty and quality of life in our community. City staff members were extremely supportive in working collaboratively with our dedicated group of enthusiastic volunteers from NWONA and the city parks volunteer groups. NWONA is very appreciative of their efforts and city funding.
