Planting parties included the Eco rotarians (4/30) and Girl Scout Troop 4016 (5/15).
We hosted a successful Creek to Bay Cleanup where 40 volunteers picked up trash on 4 miles of trails and shoreline, and spread mulch around oak trees in Del Dios Park.
The latest report on the numbers show that the Creek to Bay Cleanup was a huge success! During the 3-hour event, more than 6,400 volunteers removed 170,000 lbs. of litter from the 110 cleanup sites. WOW! A big thanks goes out to ILACSD for organizing the event.
This spring our focus is on planting more natives and managing weeds. Our planted natives are coming in strong and growing fast, and loving the March rains. Most of the restoration area directly west of Del Dios Park is planted, with upwards of 300 native plantings. To complement our efforts, seedlings are emerging from the soil seedbank, including oaks, mugwort, deer weed, dove weed, lupines, poppies and 3 different kinds of heliotrope and many more. Del Dios Park is also sprouting volunteer native grasses. Salt grass and purple needle grass are volunteering to cover the ground in the open areas.
The purple needle grass grows in "tufts". This photo shows 4-5, with a few close together in the center and two smaller ones toward the left. The purple coloring is in the seed (see next image).
