This message from Mike Hickman, who is spearheading the Millard Canyon Conservation Project, is making the rounds — more whacking non-native plants next Saturday:
Well, our 2nd volunteer work day is behind us. I am thrilled to say that we are making some real progress. It is really great to see the rocks and streambed and natural terrain again after so many years of being overgrown and covered with weeds. There's plenty more to do, but our efforts are having a significant positive impact, especially considering the relatively short time we've been working.
I want to thank everyone who has come out and worked (and Betsy for letting us troop through her yard to get into the canyon). Each person's contribution is important, and the results are evident at the end of each work day.
I also want to thank several of you who have learned of the Project and contacted me to volunteer (and please, continue to spread the word!).
On that note, I'll mention the next volunteer work day is scheduled for SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 9AM.
As usual, we will meet in my driveway at 9am sharp, take a short hike into the canyon and work for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
Gloves, tools, water and snacks will be provided.
Long pants and hiking boots are a must and I recommend bringing a long sleeve shirt.
If you have any questions, you can contact me at (626) 398-6471 or vht@att.net
Thanks again for your support and I look forward to seeing you soon!
Mike Hickman
