Come help us weed non-native, invasive plants at this na tural gem of San Jose. Our habitat restoration efforts allow the nativ e plants to “come to light.” Our workdays take place every Monday a nd Wednesday at 8:30 am, and on the second Saturday morn ing of each month. No experience is necessary. All tools and instruction will be provided. Please bring a filled water bottle, snac ks, sunscreen, sunhat and insect repellent if you need it; wear trail/ off-trail footwear, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt.
L ately we have been clearing weeds that grew extra tall as a result of last spring’s abundant rainfall. We have also started some pruning for fire mitigation. The City of San Jose cannot fully staff their parks even to keep the trails clear of non-native thistles, so there is plen ty of work for project volunteers. New volunteers are welcome!
Forms and reservations are required to volunteer. Start by visiting the City’s volunteer opportunities page at www.sanjoseca.gov/yo ur-government/departments-offices/parks-recreation-neighborhood-services/ge t-involved/volunteer-with-us. You will see Alum Rock Park Trail Cr ew as one of the options.
For the Monday/Wednesday workday s, our actual meeting spot can vary and on rare occasions we may cance l due to weather or dangerous conditions. Please contact Todd Hayes at ultratoddh@gmail.com< /a> for more information and instructions on where to park.
