The WPOA was recently awarded a 2026 City of Olympia neighborhood matching grant. The ~$2,400 grant funding will be used to resurface the pathway between Wilderness Drive and the gravel pathway connecting Wilderness to the Sweet Briar neighborhood.
The existing dirt path will be widened to 4 feet and resurfaced with gravel. In addition, the grant will be used to replace rotted deck boards and to perform other minor safety improvements to the pedestrian bridge spanning the ditch near 3320 Donnelly Drive SE.
To get involved in volunteering for this project, please email the board: wildernessboard@gmail.com
To complete this project, we need YOU!!! Volunteerism is a cornerstone of the grant program, where volunteer hours are valued at $40 per hour and provide our matching contribution for the project.
