The FRIENDS OF EDGEWOOD
organization is involved in a number of activities year-round:
- We train docents and conduct
docent-led
walks, featuring the spring wildflowers of Edgewood.
- We reach out to the community to promote educational programs
at Edgewood.
- With the help of dedicated volunteers, we work on habitat
restoration, including the removal of exotics (i.e. weeds) which
threaten the native plants of Edgewood.
- We map the natural
resources of Edgewood using GIS/GPS technology.
- We gather seeds from Edgewood, nurture them, and plant the
seedlings to promote the viability of the native plant communities and repair the
damage caused by people going off-trail.
- We participate in the Volunteer Trail Patrol at Edgewood.
- Through the CalTrans Adopt-A-Highway Program,
we've adopted the northbound section of Interstate 280 adjacent to Edgewood.
On October 19th, 2003, we celebrated our 10th
anniversary with Powers of 10.
In 2002, we inaugurated
Expressions of Edgewood, an
exhibit of photos taken at Edgewood by Bay Area amateur photographers. |
