Join us on Saturday and Sunday, December 10 and 11, 9 a.m. - noon to cut and remove small (~0.5-2" diameter) invasive acacia trees from a formerly serpentine grassland in Joaquin Miller Park. We have been working on this project for almost two years and have seen native grasses and wildflowers start to grow from the seed bank after clearing these invasive trees. Come lend a hand!
This project is on a slope, so it is important to wear sturdy shoes with tread. Please also wear long pants, layers, and bring a water bottle.
Please meet at the Friends of Sausal Creek Native Plant Nursery in Joaquin Miller Park at 9 a.m. on both mornings (12/10 and 12/11): http://www.documents.sausalcreek.org/nursery_worksite.pdf. The worksite is a 5 minute walk from the nursery.
To volunteer, please sign and bring both FOSC and City of Oakland volunteer waiver forms. Anyone under 18 will also need a signature on both forms. These forms are valid for up to a year for any FOSC program (www.sausalcreek.org > Programs > Event Calendar).
Please RSVP to Michelle Krieg at field@sausalcreek.org. This project requires a minimum of four volunteers, and can accommodate a maximum of eight.
