Eagle Mountain has organized a volunteer work day at the Utah Veterans Memorial Park Wednesday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The city has collected donations of trees, plants and flowers and recruited volunteers from the community, including Boy Scout troops and church organizations. The work will include planting, weeding, and trimming around headstones. Food and beverages will be provided for volunteers.

Brig. Gen. Jefferson Burton, assistant adjutant general of the Utah National Guard, is expected to attend.

The Utah Veterans Memorial Park is located at 17111 Camp Williams Road in Riverton. The park spans 30 acres and includes the cemetery, a chapel, a wall of honor and a museum featuring military memorabilia.

Eagle Mountain volunteer work day at the park is part of the city's annual Military Appreciation Week, which runs through Friday.
