Join leaders Ken Himes and Jake Sigg, of Santa Clara Valley and Yerba Buena Chapters respectively, on the return to our ongoing restoration work at this site, the intersection of I-280 and Hwy. 92.

We work to restore the rare, federally endangered fountain thistle (Cirsium fontinale var. fontinale) by removing brush and trees that would like to take over this herbaceous community. This session, we'll increase our list of target plants, by learning to identify and remove the non-native, invasive, perennial wallaby grass, Rhytidosperma caespitosum.

We meet at the end of Lessingia Court in San Mateo. If you can’t locate it on Google or Mapquest, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or (415) 731-3028. Optional camaraderie over Greek pizza afterwards.
