| Description: |
Edgewood County Park & Natural Preserve, though only 467 acres, is widely know and highly regarded for its magnificent wildflower displays and amazing diversity. As a park, it provides hikers with great opportunities to explore and enjoy nature. But as a Natural Preserve, it has an even more important goal: to protect native species (including over 300 native plants!). Among the greatest threats to native species at Edgewood are invasive, non-native plants (aka weeds), which grow and spread rapidly, thereby displacing natives and reducing diversity. But dedicated park staff and volunteers work together in the Habitat Restoration Program to help control the weeds so native plants will have plenty of room to grow and flourish. Volunteer Weeders should meet at the Old Stage Day Camp Kiosk at 5:30p.m. See Park Map for location: http://edgewood.thinkersrus.net/schedule.html#Map Sponsored by: San Mateo County Parks Foundation Weed Warriors Website: http://edgewood.thinkersrus.net/ |
