On April 12 we will start our final year of re-vegetation along San Pablo creek. We are hoping to remove 20000 square feet of invasive ivy vegetation and replaced with locally propagated native plants. We need your help to get the process started. Volunteers are need it to help propagate plants from cuttings that will be collected that morning in near by locations, to help weed the areas that have all ready been cleared and planted in previous years and to remove as much ivy as possible. For the more experienced, we also need volunteers to help cut and move a tree that has fallen into the creek. If you are interested in this type of work or would like to learn more about this project, please contact us at 510-6653538 or by email at juliana@thewatershedproject.org We meet behind the El Sobrante Library located at 4191 Appian Way, El Sobrante CA from 9:00AM-12:30 PM. RSVP preferred, but not required, so that we can better plan the daily tasks and the tools and snacks. This opportunity is great to learn about native plants, gardening tips, restoration of river side habitat and to meet your neighbors. Newcomers welcome. Tools, gloves and refreshments provided. RSVP for groups of 5 or more people required.
