Earth Day Restoration Work Party

The Friends of San Pedro Valley Park will once again celebrate Earth Day with a restoration work party. This year, it will take place on the actual commemorative Earth Day, which is Tuesday, April 22nd. And it will again be a rescue day for the plants in our beloved, but neglected, Native Plant Garden, as we go after removing the usual suspects of invasive plants, weeds and plant debris. We may also be planting some natives to enhance the garden and help bring it back to its former healthy and well-tended appearance. This year’s event will take place from 10 am until 1 pm at the Visitor Center. Just bring your gloves and your sun hats… we’ll supply the tools and the knee pads! The two areas comprising the SPVP Native Plant Garden are ambassadors for the wild and wonderful biodiversity of our park, so we need to have the plants be able to show themselves at their best for our visitors. We hope you can join us for this annual celebration of the native plant life in this, our tiny corner of the planet. And the Friends would also like to get to know more of the folks who, like us, will choose to help refresh a garden that welcomes native pollinators: bees, butterflies, beetles and others – a tiny microcosm of our struggling-to-be-healthy Planet Earth.
