San Pablo Creek Stewardship Work Day
Last updated on March 21, 2008

On April 12 we will start our final year of re-vegetation along San Pablo creek. We are hoping to remove 20000 square feet of invasive ivy vegetation and replaced with locally propagated native plants. We need your help to get the process started. Volunteers are need it to help propagate plants from cuttings that will be collected that morning in near by locations, to help weed the areas that have all ready been cleared and planted in previous years and to remove as much ivy as possible. For the more experienced, we also need volunteers to help cut and move a tree that has fallen into the creek. If you are interested in this type of work or would like to learn more about this project, please contact us at 510-6653538 or by email at juliana@thewatershedproject.org
