Pulling Together to Save Our Coast: Invasive Species Removal

Sanctuary Forest and Friends of the Lost Coast are teaming up again with California State Parks for the fourth year in a row to remove French broom and other invasive species in the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park! We’ll be removing French broom (a relative of Scotch broom), as well as some eucalyptus and black acacia. Hand tools may not necessary for the smaller plants, but if you have a favorite tool, go ahead and bring it. Gloves, some hand tools and weed wrenches will be provided.

Please bring a lunch and water. Dress in layers and wear sturdy shoes. To RSVP, visit www.sanctuaryforest.org, Upcoming Events; call 986-1087 x 9#; or email anna@sanctuaryforest.org.

Meet at the Sanctuary Forest office at 9am on Saturday, March 21 to carpool—bring a 4-wheel-drive vehicle if possible. We will return to Whitethorn by 2pm. Rain will cancel this event.

(If you can’t make this event, we’re planning another on October 24th!)
