Weekly Work Party

Meet at the end of King Court (GPS: 1203 King court, El Cerrito)

We aim to finish clearing the broom from the patch we’ve been working on over the past two sessions.

We will also do some hand weeding around the native plants flagged last week to protect them from mowing—narrowleaf mule’s ears, gum plants, lupines, and others. No poison oak in this area.

Depending on time and volunteer turnout, we may wrap up with some hand mowing at the Golden Triangle—one of the most diverse and dense native grassland areas in the HNA.

P.S. If possible, please let us know in advance if you plan to join—even last minute.Don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
Come prepared with sturdy shoes, long socks over pants (for tick protection), long sleeves, a hat, sunscreen, and a water bottle. 

Please also print and sign the Release for City Volunteer Program

Below is a photo of narrowleaf mule’s ears that have not flowered yet. At this stage, they can easily be mistaken from a distance for plantain or soaproot.

Narrowleaf mule’s ears are slow-growing, foundational perennials that take several years to establish. They are relatively resilient and would not be significantly harmed by mowing.
