Join Friends of Sausal Creek for a multi-purpose weed pull as we remove invasive acacia trees that will be used to feed elephants, giraffes, and camels at the Oakland Zoo. No weed pulling or tree chopping experience needed! All tools, instruction, and snacks will be provided. We will be working with saws on a steep hillside; youth under 15 should be accompanied by an adult who is able to provide close supervision. Please wear sturdy shoes, long pants, layers, and bring a water bottle.
Meet at the Friends of Sausal Creek nursery on Sanborn Rd. next to the Woodminster Amphitheater in Joaquin Miller Park. Map: http://www.documents.sausalcreek.org/nursery_worksite.pdf. Walk in past the yellow gate and stay to the left, following nursery signs. The nursery will be on your left, about a 5 minute walk.
Please RSVP to field@sausalcreek.org. To volunteer, please sign and bring both the FOSC and City of Oakland waiver forms. If you are under 18 you will also need a parental signature on both forms.
