Dear members and friends, here’s your chance to participate with us in a careful, thorough blackberry removal workday at the bird blind on the Bird Sanctuary Trail at Turtle Bay, Sunday afternoon, December 1st, from 1-4pm.

We will be cutting back vines and digging out blackberry crowns while leaving native plants in place. Bring your own gloves and shovels, and a wagon or cart if you have one available.

We will be meeting at the Monolith parking lot and taking the dirt path to the blind. Please call Education Chair Stephanie at 530-782 8070 if you have any questions.

Hope to see you there!
Thank you for helping to allow birds and the other riparian life to prosper at Turtle Bay!

Your Shasta Birding Society Team

The post Spanish Broom Removal Sacramento River Trail appeared first on Shasta Birding Society.]]> This is a Spanish broom and other invasive plant removal work party with California Native Plant Society, Sierra Club and other interested people. Randy Smith and his crew have done a lot of the hard work, and the trail is beginning to look like it was 30 years ago. We will work the periphery of the infestation, so this will be a light work party using various hand tools and non-toxic herbicides (vinegar & detergent) for three to four hours. Variety of jobs available from easy to hard: cutting, sawing, pulling plants or squirting vinegar on cut stems. Bring loppers, clippers, pruning saws, gloves, water and snacks or just yourselves. Work from one to four houses whatever your energy level. Meet at the end of Harlan Dr. at the north Sacramento River Trail at 9 am. Bring loppers, clippers, pruning saws, gloves, water and snacks(or just yourself).. Requires signing liability waiver from City of Redding. For more information call David Ledger at 355-8542.
