Weed Mapping

Saturday, November 18 9:00 a.m. to Noon  Hanns Park

Two great projects will be addressed this month: we will identify weeds in the Alliance’s native meadow so that we can effectively address them with GVRD’s help. We’ll also need a couple of volunteers to walk the path and install markers on the new sign posts (if available). To join us, park in the Hanns Park parking lot on Skyline at Redwood. Follow the signs a short walk up the pathway. Wear comfortable clothes, sturdy shoes, hat, sunscreen, and gloves. We’ll bring water, refreshments, and tools. For more information, or to RSVP, call 707.644.8949 ext. 1610 or email Info@VallejoWatershedAlliance.org.

October Workday Cancelled

Due to the extraordinary circumstances last week, and the continued uncertainty of air quality here in Vallejo, we have decided to cancel this Saturday’s workday. Instead, we encourage you to continue supporting our North Bay community in all of the ways that you have been. If you’re looking for hands-on work, there are two opportunities to consider this weekend:

  • There are still more than 200 animals at the Solano County Fairgrounds in Vallejo. If you wish to help, the most updated needs are posted here: http://www.scfair.com/EvacCenter2017.html
  • Hope 4 Kids International builds deep water wells in Uganda. Benicia’s Northgate Church is sponsoring its annual Walk 4 Water this Saturday to raise funds for this worthy cause. Church members have been to Uganda to see and help build these wells, so the organization is well-vetted and does what it claims to do. Details are here: http://www.scfair.com/EvacCenter2017.html

Thank you, and we’ll see you in Hanns Park in November!

Identify Invasives!
