Recent rains make this an ideal time to Pull Broom! Help Trekkers and the city’s Environmental Quality Committee’s Green Teams remove this invasive weed from the Hillside Natural Area. Besides drowning out native plants and harming habitat, invasive French broom is a dangerous fuel for wild fires.
Removing broom is relatively easy, and much fun. It is satisfying to see how much improved the Hillside has become over the years, thanks to our efforts and those of Friends of Five Creeks. Please join us; meet some of our area’s liveliest naturalists and other volunteers; and note: this is a great activity for kids!
Trekkers and Green Teams supply all tools and tarps. Bring water and wear sunscreen. No experience necessary! All ages welcome (under 18 with guardian).
Meet at the stairs to the Madera Open Space, near 1540 Madera Circle
