The City's Open Space does not do a specific Earth Day event but they do designate the weekends in April to concentrate on the foothills area cleanup.The starting point for this Saturday is at the parking area for the Piedra Lisa Open Space at the east end of Candelaria.
The time frame is from *** 8:30 am to 12:00 pm *** The city will have bags and buckets for us and a big truck at the end to haul away what we bring out. Yes, we will have the standard snacks . Bring your own water, gloves, sunscreen, hat and wear appropriate clothing. No sandals.
Please sign up as soon as possible as we need to provide Jim and his group a head count. Most of you know that Erik has moved to New Zealand and we will miss his years of experience. Jim Sattler will be our contact for this and for the fall CITO.. We will meet at 8:15 for a mini meet n greet before we check in for our equipment and our clean up options. Last year there was some planting, trail-building, graffiti removal as well as the usual trash and doggie "gifts".
As a bonus, participation in this event will earn you a 2016 CITO souvenir on your geocaching profile.
This particular area has limited parking so PLEASE CARPOOL!
