Great weather and an even better turnout led to an AMAZING day of restoration! Volunteers from all over came out and really put forth an amazing effort – tackling a wall of blackberry well over our heads! We eradicated roots as we went, clearing a large area that will be the new home for some of our beautiful little native plants. Volunteers also helped maintain and weed past plantings along the maintenance road near the pools. We began a beautification effort on the near side of the cart path as well, putting in maple and coyote brush by the Roy’s Pools marker, which proudly showcases SPAWN as an integral part in its construction. The transformation I have seen at Roy’s Pools in just the short amount of time I’ve been here really is astounding. It’s necessary and awe-inspiring work that can’t be accomplished without the help of our amazing volunteers, who care so much about our environment. I’m excited to be a part of such a great effort, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Roy’s Pools and the upper reaches of the San Geronimo. I hope you’ll join me next week as the restoration continues…
