Wednesday Invasive Weeding

I’m happy to announce that our Weekly Wednesday Weeding group will be starting up again!!!!

 

     The first event will take place on Wednesday, January 10th from 8am to noon, and will continue every Wednesday into early April. Although we haven’t gotten much rain yet, some of our annual natives are starting to appear, and so will Sahara mustard. I’m expecting the first day to be a slow start into a season where we’ll gradually see more weeds. In either case we would love your help.

 

     Also, I have added a few people to this list who I felt might want to be on here, not because they requested it, so if anyone would like to be removed from this list then please let me know! Or, on the flip side, if you know of anyone who wants to be added on to this list then do tell me.

 

What we provide:

 

  • Hand tools (shovels, poker tools, hula hoes)

  • Work gloves

  • Bags and tape (when needed)

  • Trainings on tool use and field safety

 

What you need to bring:

 

  • Food and plenty of water

  • Proper field clothing (including a hat)

  • Sunscreen

 

Where we meet:

 

In the past the group used to meet in the ABDNHA parking lot (between ABDNHA and Carlee’s), however we are now meeting in the parking lot that’s outside the food bank at the Borrego Springs mall. Here is a screenshot that shows where we now meet (circled in red).
