Mark your calendars for the First Annual Leaf Bank on Saturdays, October 18 and 25. Leaves may be dropped off or picked up, for free, on the NE corner of the Cowlitz County Fairgrounds. Drop-off from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and pick-up from noon to 4 p.m.

Clean, healthy leaves requested, no grass clippings, black-walnut leaves, yard debris or garbage. Leaves are for composting and mulching only, as supplies last. Right reserved to inspect bagged materials. Extension Service Master Recycler/Composter volunteers will be on site to answer questions about composting and mulching. For more information call Cowlitz Extension Service at 577-3014.
