Note: This project location has been updated to reflect a change in priority for invasive removal. Instead of going to the Furtado Barn Restoration Area we will instead be working at the north meadow at Coyote Valley Open Space Preserve. The work will involve weeding invasive radish and mustard from the north meadow and promote habitat for rare birds and other wildlife.
The work itself will involve working on somewhat uneven ground in tall grass. We provide clean gloves, tools, and project-related supplies for the day, as well as training and instructions. We require that volunteers wear close-toed shoes, long sleeved and pants, as well as bring their own sun-protection, snacks and water. If you have gloves from previous events then please bring them, otherwise new gloves will be provided on-site. Work will involve stooping, digging with shovels, kneeling, walking on uneven/rocky terrain and using hand tools.
Please note that youth (14 and older) are allowed to participate with the supervision and accompaniment of an adult guardian. If you plan to bring a guest (youth or adult) please have them create a volunteer portal account, submit release of liability (and parental permission form, if they are a youth) and sign up for the opportunity through the portal.
Please contact Kat (khill@openspaceauthority.org) if you have any questions about this Land Stewards event.
