Volunteers help clear Arundo at Conservancy Earth Day Event

Earth Day Habitat Restoration and Informational Event held at Conservancy's Foster Park Preserve

This past Earth Day, April 22, 2012, over fifteen volunteers from Ventura, Oxnard and Santa Barbara visited the Conservancy's preserve south of Foster Park and helped us in our efforts to remove the invasive Arundo Donax or Giant Reed from the property. Volunteers from Resource Conservation Partners , Ventura College and VHC members used loppers to attack the resprouts of recently cleared vegetation that popped up after our recent rains. We also cleared trails of previously cut stalks and cleaned up vegetation along the bike path mural. Conservancy staff were on site to coordinate efforts and to answer questions about invasive and native flora and fauna. A big thanks to everyone who attended! We will be continuing our trail building efforts on May 19 from 10AM-12PM. Come out and join us!
