Restore Habitat on Marsh Creek with Save Mount Diablo

The Diablo Restoration Team (DiRT) seeks help watering native plants and pulling a few weeds at Save Mount Diablo’s Marsh Creek IV property. In 2009 DiRT planted 500 native plants along an 800ft. section of Marsh Creek and periodically returns to the site to remove non-native invasive weeds threatening health of the ecosystem. Last winter we planted 200 plants and 300 grass plugs. We’ll be watering each of the plantings helping them establish root systems so they can survive our long arid summers. Bring water, a hand trowel, hand clippers and gloves if you have them – we’ll provide extras. Wear a hat, long pants, long sleeves and boots. RSVP to (925) 947-3535 or gphillips@savemountdiablo.org
