Join us in the cool shade of Garber’s native oak woodland as
we continue removing fire prone invasive plants and performing maintenance on the
Loop Trail. We will also continue
working on restoring the old 1920’s trail from Fireplace Plaza to the parking
turn-out on Claremont Ave.
Our Summer invasive weed pull continues - volunteers have made tremendous progress - but the
hillside at the Evergreen Lane entrance continues to need invasive weed
removal, especially above the trail.
Erhardta grass is the main invader here, and needs to be removed to
allow the more fire-safe natives to thrive.
The Trail Crew has scoped out the old trail all the way to Claremont
Ave. This trail, which could be an
important escape route in the event of a fire, still needs much work before it
is usable and we could use your help. While these tasks are on our
steep rugged hillsides, we also have some beautiful flat areas along the Loop
Trail needing maintenance to keep the trail open.
Wear long sleeves and pants, and shoes with good tread.
Drinks, snacks, tools, and gloves are provided, but do bring
your own gloves and water bottle and gloves if you have them.
Meet at the Evergreen Lane entrance at 10AM. For a map and directions www.garberparkstewards.org, or
