Volunteers restore Palouse bark at park

Feb 03, 20110

The North Fork Palouse River shifted piles of playground bark when it flooded Jan. 17. Jan. 27, police chief Jerry Neumann, shown here aboard a utility tractor, was amid roughly 20 volunteers who scooped the bark back to its appropriate location. Neumann said most of the bark never left the playground because the flooded river formed an eddy which kept the debris swirling inside the park.
