Event Description

Throughout Santa Clara Valley non-native plant species are forcing out our native plant live, in some cases drastically altering local ecosystems. Santa Clara County Parks is making a concerted effort to remove these invasive plants, and a key element to the plan is plain and simple: to pull or dig up of these plants before they continue to propagate. Volunteer crews are crucial to this labor intensive task.

What we'll be doing

The work plan here is to remove the non-native plant teasel.

Where to meet

Volunteers meet at the Hang Glider lot (1st lot past Sandy Wool Lake)

How to get there: Traveling on either Interstate 680 or 880, take the Calaveras Road exit in Milpitas. Drive east towards the foothills along Calaveras Road. Calaveras Road passes through the southern portion of Ed Levin Park. To reach the Sandy Wool Lake area, take a left turn off Calaveras Road onto Downing Road. Travel north along Downing Road to reach Sandy Wool Lake, the hang gliding area and the main trail use areas.

 
Other Info: No special skills are required. Tools and work gloves are provided; please wear sturdy shoes with long pants and bring your own water bottle (refills available).
Organization: Santa Clara County Parks

The mission of the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department is to provide, protect and preserve regional parklands for the enjoyment, education and inspiration of this and future generations. Santa Clara County acquired its first parkland in 1924, purchasing 400 acres near Cupertino. In 1956, the Department of Parks and Recreation was formed. Currently, the regional parks system has expanded to 27 park units encompassing nearly 45,000 acres.
