MAY EVENTS IN GARBER PARK
Date: Saturday, May 21 HABITAT RESTORATION Time: 10AM – Noon
We will "take a break" from
weeding chores to traverse our creek from the springs through the Measure DD
area to the drain on Claremont Ave. We will measure and photograph all
the Measure DD plantings and try to identify whatever birds and other wildlife
we see. Including moths and butterflies. Maybe we'll even see
another Red Fox! So be prepared for wet feet, poison oak, and stinging
nettles. Bring binocs, camera, notepad, gloves and more gloves, and a
field guide of your choice. Also, a soft cloth tape measure might be
helpful. We need to scope out the springs and the creek this spring.
For those who just can’t get enough of
pulling invasives there are still plenty - Cape ivy,
poison Hemlock, and we found a new stand of LARGE broom!
Wear long sleeves and pants and shoes with sturdy soles. We provide snacks and drinks, tools and gloves, but do bring your own gloves if you have them.

In June we will continue to pull those invasives with special attention to weeding our Restoration Sites to ensure the new plants can make it through the long, dry summer ahead. It will also be a good time to collect seeds. Contact us at garberparkstewards@gmail.com for details.
