To kick off a campaign to give back to the community, the Essex team partnered with Lewis & Clark State Park (Lewis and Clark State Park | Washington State Parks) to help with clearing trails and replacing barrier posts. After a hearty lunch from a local deli and a safety briefing from the ranger on duty, the Essex team broke up in two groups and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon in the woods with shovels, saws, edgers and rakes (check the pictures!!). Though the work was intense, the satisfaction was unmatched, and we are already thinking about signing up on a recurring basis.
