Hanford Site Crew Improves Trail on Earth Day

RICHLAND, Wash. – More than 20 volunteers from Hanford site services contractor Mission Support Alliance worked with the Tapteal Greenway Association in West Richland, Wash., near the Hanford Site, to help reestablish about 1,000 feet of trail near a bustling residential development to mark Earth Day, which is celebrated April 22. The work included grading and smoothing the trail; bringing in rocks by hand to be placed along the edge of the trail; and placing a short timber crib wall to raise the level of the trail across a small gully. 

“It was hard work, but rewarding to see how that portion of the trail looked afterwards. I love knowing that we made a positive impact on our environment and created a recreational opportunity for our community,” said employee Michelle Rehberg.
