BOTANICAL HIKE THROUGH GARBER PARK
Saturday, May 20, 10am-1:00pm
Workshop led by Lech Naumovich
Meet at the Claremont Ave Entrance
to Garber Park
Join the Garber Park Stewards and Lech
Naumovich, Golden Hour Restoration Institute on a fun and informative botanical
hike through Garber
Park, a 13-acre City of Oakland Wildland Park in Claremont Canyon.
We will talk about many of the diverse native
plants and plant communities found in Garber, including oak woodlands, wetland
seeps, and other forest types with a focus on recognizing key
characteristics of plants to allow for accurate identifications. We will
highlight the ongoing restoration efforts in Garber, identify the invasive
weeds, and discuss Sudden Oak Death, which was identified in Garber several
years ago. Spring is the best time to
pull those invasive weeds – we welcome our weed pullers as well!
Wear long sleeves, long pants, and shoes
