A big group of volunteers enjoyed this morning's workday under sunny skies. After getting an orientation to the day's work and checking out examples of one of the park's weeds,
rumex crispus, we organized into two groups. While some folks began a clean up of the children's playground, the bigger part of the group walked east to a worksite near Baker Street. We passed by the
pittosporum crassifolium that toppled over during the high winds this week. It was sad to see the end of this old tree, but fortunately there are several other Karos nearby in the park.
We started out by filling wheelbarrows, and then spread them around the young cherry trees near Baker Street.
The soil also went around the big redwoods on the north side of the park.
Closer to Lyon Street @ Fell, the enormous eucalyptus trees got a layer of mulch.
Thanks to all of our volunteers, and especially to the seventh grade (and some other students) from SFDS!
