This is one of our older habitat enhance-ment projects. It is along a partly tidal reach of the creek reaching from Meadowood Drive to Doherty Drive. We’ll pull French broom and dig fennel and dandelions. The more ambitious volunteers can attack non-native blackberries and acacias. We’ll supply weed wrenches and some tools, but bring your favorite clippers, pruning saws, and shovels. Dress in layers, wear sturdy shoes and heavy gloves, and bring drinking water. Meet on Meadowood where it crosses Larkspur Creek. Call Sandy at (415) 456-5052 for information.

With Dr. Sasha Berleman of Audubon Canyon Ranch’s Fire Ecology Program
This past October, the North Bay area experienced one of its most destructive and tragic human disasters in recorded history due to fire. Over the past hundred years, the human-fire relationship has been one riddled with animosity, and this antagonism has come at great cost to people and ecosystems alike. Yet it hasn’t always been this way, and it doesn’t have to be this way as we look to the future.
Attend this talk to learn about fire’s long-standing and critical role in our ecosystems, and the ways our plant communities have come to depend on fire as an ecosystem process.
