As fall 2021 approaches, we reflect on one of our favorite memories from the summer–picking up litter at Klineline Pond within Salmon Creek Regional Park. We are grateful for the Landerholm staff and attorneys who enthusiastically volunteered on an early Saturday morning, and we thank the Clark County Public Works Department who helped us plan and coordinate this event. Their organizing efforts help keep our parks looking beautiful!
