Work Party
May 14, 2013
Thank you to everyone who participated in the work party at Kilchis Point Reserve on May 11th! There are a lot of blackberries, scotch broom and weeds that are no-more because of everyone’s hard work.
Summer is nearly here and we are gearing up to get to complete the final paver trail, install the second wetland boardwalk, and begin graveling phase 4 of the trail.
That’s a lot of blackberries!
A whole lot of wackin’
Gettin’ those scotch broom outta there
Spring is here!

It is beautiful at Kilchis Point Reserve. The trillium is in bloom (please do not pick them, it can take over 5 years for this flower to bloom) and the Rough Skinned Newts are out-and-about (do not handle them, they are toxic). Get out there and enjoy nature!
