Veteran-led Nonprofit Team Rubicon Supporting Disaster Prevention in Kennewick

The Spirit of America Trail in Zintel Canyon will have intermittent closures Friday, April 26th through Sunday, May 5th. These closures are for the safety of the public and workers who will be doing fire mitigation work in Zintel Canyon. It is important that citizens do not enter the project area during these closures. 

Team Rubicon, a veteran-led disaster response organization, will be working to clear brush and trees for fire mitigation and to improve emergency access.

The City has created an information page on our website to keep the public informed of the on-going mitigation work occurring in Zintel Canyon: https://www.go2kennewick.com/1257/Zintel-Canyon-Mitigation

The City is not seeking volunteers for the operation this weekend but we welcome other groups and individuals who would like to do a project or projects to check out our volunteer information page: www.go2kennewick.com/543/Volunteer-Opportunities

The trail through Zintel Canyon is a unique and beautiful natural area with wetland and wildlife right in the heart of the City. The trailhead is located at the southwest corner of West 7th Avenue and South Vancouver Street.​
