Keep French broom from making a comeback in the El Cerrito Hillside Natural Area Sat., June 22

From 10 Volunteers pulling out small broom seedlings in meadowAM - 12:30 PM Sat., June 22, we'll take an easy, almost level stroll through oak groves and meadows with great views, stopping where we find re-sprouts of the fire-invaders we have cleared for 15 years. The meadow left was thick with them! 

Meet at the trail entrance between 1520 and 1524 Douglas Drive (a short, partly one-way loop south of Potrero).

We supply tools, gloves, light snacks, and good company. Bring water and sun protection. Wear long pants, long sleeves, and closed-toed shoes with good traction. Avoid fuzzy clothing that catches seeds. Ages 10 and up welcome. Info at f5creeks@gmail.com. Groups of more than five please RSVP.
