Wednesday, 4–7 PM — Flow Party at the Yellow Alley

Enter the HNA on Schmidt. We will be working near this area https://maps.app.goo.gl/VZCbVTv482LpbrV56?g_st=ic

On Wednesdays, we run an open-format work session—join at any time and stay as long as you like.

Join us along a bright stretch of trail bordered by gum plants and narrowleaf mule’s ears, where golden blooms spill across the hillside and turn the path into a corridor of sunlight.

We will be removing invasive cotoneaster there (technically broom, but with tougher roots!) and reducing the overwhelming population of plantain. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about this remarkably resilient plant — both its culinary uses and its role in folk medicine — and will go home with a homemade restorative salve.

No prior experience is needed — tools and guidance are provided. Wear long sleeves and long pants, along with sturdy shoes. We will provide tools. If possible, please bring your own gloves.

All are welcome. Birders, plant enthusiasts, kids and curious neighbors are invited to join. You can come to work, to learn, or simply to enjoy being outside in community.
