Volunteers needed to help restore Rubio Canyon Aug. 4

by Timothy Rutt

The Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy is looking for volunteers for "Rubio Restoration Day" on Sunday, Aug. 4.

The Conservancy recently acquired significant property in Rubio Canyon, and offers an opportunity to help restore the area and learn more about plants, both native and invasive.

Join AFC board member Tim Martinez for a day of invasive plant removal and habitat restoration. Learn to identify native California plants and their uses while removing invasive mustard and grasses from the beautiful, mountainous terrain. Meet at 1101 E. Loma Alta Drive at 9 AM, and the event runs until noon.

Be sure to pack water bottles and to wear long pants and work clothing. Gloves will be provided, and there is a bathroom with running water on site. For more information, contact Tim Martinez: timmcmartinez@yahoo.com (626) 808-7964.
