SUMMARY:Fountain Thistle Work Party
LOCATION:Lessingia Court in San Mateo
DESCRIPTION:Fountain thistle (Cirsium fontinale var. fontinale) is a federally endanger
 ed plant species that grows in an unusual and specialized habitat – serpent
 ine seeps – and is only found at our work location and in a few other nearb
 y locations on the Peninsula.\nFountain thistle’s recovery here is a restor
 ation success story. Once almost completely displaced by jubatagrass (Andea
 n pampas grass), it has largely recovered here, as a result of the work don
 e by CNPS volunteers. The CNPS project is a cooperative effort of the Santa
  Clara Valley and Yerba Buena Chapters. However, fountain thistle is still 
 under threat from invasion by non-native plants and by woody plants threate
 ning to convert the area to shrubland or woodland. In addition, the borderi
 ng dry serpentine zone is habitat to another rare plant, Crystal Springs le
 ssingia (Lessingia arachnoidea), which is threatened by invasion of yellow 
 star-thistle, fennel, tufted wallaby grass (Rytidosperma caespitosum) and o
 ther non-native plants.\nSturdy gloves are recommended; you might also want
  to wear long sleeves/pants and bring sunscreen, water, a hat and layered c
 lothing. If you have them, bring tools, such as trowels, spades and shovels
 . Some tools will also be provided.\nSign up on the Chapter’s Meetup page,
