A Focus on Fire Safety

August Volunteer Habitat Restoration Workdays
Help Reduce the Threat of Fire in Garber Park 
Tuesday, August 5 and Saturday, August 16 
10AM- Noon

Tuesday, August 5:  Volunteer Workday:  Your help is needed as we continue preparing for this Fire Season to reduce the threat of fire.  Join us in the cool shade of Garber's native oak woodland as we chop and pull the usual suspect invasive weeds and perform trail maintenance.  We will focus on beautifying the Claremont Ave. Entrance, pulling ivy in beautiful Fern Glade, and removing erhardtda grass on the hillside at the Evergreen Lane Entrance.  

Saturday, August 16: Volunteer Workday:  We will continue removing invasive weeds and performing trail maintenance with a focus on vegetation management for fire safety.  For details see Tuesday, August 5 description above.

For all Restoration Workdays in Garber: 

Wear long sleeves and pants, and shoes with good traction.  We provide tools, gloves, water and snacks but we encourage volunteers to bring their own gloves and reusable water bottles.
