By Lynne Fritz As the summer draws to a close I thank all of you who took time out of your summer schedule to volunteer at Edgewood. I know continued weeding and patrolling in the hot summer sun is a true sign of commitment to the park. Thanks! Rangers Tom and Judy and their summer staff have concentrated some efforts to reduce unauthorized access across from the Park & Ride Lot by installing and maintaining barbed wire at the fence line. They are also monitoring the trash problems generated by the flower vendors on Edgewood Road. Staff have spoken to them and are getting cooperation. Please report future observation of trash or other such impacts to Judy or Tom at the park office, 368-6283. Staff continue to monitor the habitat barriers, trim and repair trails, and are starting to install more new trail signs. Judy is currently preparing a mammal display and looks forward to doing a display on "Hill 1" this winter. Anyone with historic photos of "Hill 1" that Judy can use is encouraged to call her at the park office. Final copies of the Edgewood Master Plan should be available by the week of August 18. Please call the Administration Office in Redwood City at 363-4020 if you want a copy. Most exciting for me has been preparing for our first annual Volunteer Recognition Event on Sept. 27. This is our first official event to acknowledge and recognize the outstanding support and commitment of our park volunteers. I look forward to seeing many of you there. In the fall I will start our Parks Division Newsletter, so Judy will be writing this column. She will be able to bring you up-to-date, on-the-spot information about Edgewood. I will still contribute to this newsletter in a different format. See ya ‘round Friends of Edgewood, so long Ranger Roundup. |
