RANGER RIC'S ROUNDUP By Ricardo Trejo
Mr. Don Mayall, President of the California Native Plant Society Santa Clara Valley Chapter has renewed the permit to continue the weed abatement program at Edgewood Park and Preserve. The eradication program (which is hard tiresome labor) has been in effect for many years, however the new permit calls for a monitoring program. Ms. Georgia Stigall and Mr. Ken Himes are coordinating the eradication program and collecting/recording the data for this monitoring program. Ms. Susan Sommers, Friends of Edgewood Re-vegetation Coordinator, has also renewed her permit to continue the re-vegetation program with a monitoring format amendment. The monitoring programs addition will be time consuming and a challenge. Persons interested in assisting with the new monitoring programs can contact the coordinator to the program of your choice. I assure you they can use all the help!!! Trail Day, April 24th On Trail Day we had representatives from the San Mateo Horse Association, Woodside Horse Association, and the Volunteer Horse Patrol that helped in building a culvert rock head wall on one of the culverts by the Clarkia Trail. A second party of drop-in groups helped in building a culvert rock head wall and installed a culvert and ditch leading to the culvert on the Franciscan Trail. This being my first Trail Day event since my return to Edgewood, and Ric Munds’ first, the day was very enjoyable working with the volunteers, not to mention the projects accomplished. For next year’s Trail Day, keep in mind that it is normally scheduled during Earth Week in the month of April. Trail Day has come and gone, however, there is always trail maintenance that can be done all year around. If you wish to help in a trail project, fell free to contact one of the Ranger Ric’s. |
