Join leaders Don Thomas and Jake Sigg, of the Santa Clara Valley and Yerba Buena CNPS Chapters respectively, on the return to our ongoing restoration work at this site, the intersection of I-280 and Highway 92. We work to restore the rare, federally endangered fountain thistle (Cirsium fontinale var. fontinale), by removing non-native plants. We have vanquished the jubata grass (in the past referred to as pampas grass), but there are other baddies needing our attention, such as yellow star-thistle, wallaby grass (Rhytidosperma caespitosum) and woody plants trying to convert the area to a shrubland or woodland.

Optional camaraderie over Greek pizza afterwards. 

Location Meet at the end of Lessingia Court in San Mateo. For more information, email jakesigg@earthlink.
