Earth Day 2016 is fast approaching! Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 23rd. We will be working from 9AM to noon. We need volunteers to weed the native garden, pull french broom, pickup spray cans, and clean out some trail stairs. This will be our sixth annual Earth Day event. Last year was a strong turnout and were hoping for even more this year. If you attend please dress accordingly, but do make sure to wear sturdy footwear (no sandals or flipflops). We are always looking for people to help coordinate the event and if you are interested please let me know. I really need someone who has some trail maintenance experience to lead our work crew for the trail stair cleaning. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please email us at friendsofleonaheights@gmail.com.

I hope to see you there!

SUNDAY HIKE (2/7) Horseshoe Creek mapping project hike. This Sunday we will be walking in and along Horseshoe Creek. We are hoping to do a little bit of a clean up, but also work on mapping the creek as well. We will be planning our Earth Day event as well so if that interests you please let us know. If you wish to join us please let us know by emailing us at friendsofleonaheights@gmail.com . Otherwise bring sturdy shoes that you are not afraid of getting muddy and possibly completely soaked. Bring gloves if you want to help with our clean up. We will meet at the upper entrance to York Trail (campus blvd. across the street from Merritt College) at 10 AM and should be wrapping things up around 1PM
