Edgehill Mountain Park Restoration

Saturday, February 11, 2012
1:00 PM to 3:00 PM

Help restore habitat at Edgehill Mountain Park in San Francisco's West Portal neighborhood.

Edgehill Mountain Park is a small, hidden gem.  It contains mature Monterey pine and cypress trees along with plenty of invasive blue gum eucalyptus. The primary challenges here include English ivy, cape ivy, blackberry, and ehrharta grass. Remarkably, as we remove the carpets of invasives, we’ve found a strong resurgence of native scrub species from retained seed banks in the soil. We also have planted many native grasses and forbs.

Wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, and layers. Tools and refreshments will be provided.  Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult and should bring their own gear.

Note: This event repeats the second Saturday of even-numbered months, 1-3 p.m. It's best to check with the organizer to make sure any particular workday is going ahead as planned.
