Not many people know that Garber Park has a long border on Claremont Ave. We Stewards have not
spent much time maintaining the section along Claremont – until now, that is. Last Friday morning we donned our yellow
vests and went to work picking up trash along both sides of Claremont Ave. from
just behind the Hotel to Alvarado Rd. In three hours we collected 6 bags of trash, several tires, and some construction
debris that had been tossed into the bushes.

| This clean-up event was an experiment to see if we could safely conduct stewardship sessions on Claremont Ave. With caution and wearing yellow vests we found we could. We now will be offering occasional stewardship days along this beautiful street - Garber Park, with it's steep hillside covered with big leaf maples, buckeyes, and an understory of ferns is at the base of Claremont Canyon and extends almost to Rispin Lane. Unfortunately, ivy still drips from the trees along this section of Claremont Ave., but with the soon to begin Wildfire Prevention Assessment District (WPAD) special project the ivy in the trees will become history. If you would like to help us monitor conditions along this important thoroughfare please contact us garberparkstewards.blogspot.com. In the meantime, enjoy this trash-free section of Claremont Avenue. |
