This is our regular monthly (first Saturday) Volunteer Workday in John McLaren Park. It is springtime, so its time to pull wild radish from the grasslands between Mansell St. and our start at the bottom of the hill along Ervine St. We are starting at the bottom of the hill, so that we are finishing with a walk down to the BEER. The work is relatively easy compared to Blackberry eradication, but the slopes are slippery. Wear shoes/boots with good grip. Dress in layers, there's little or no shade. Long sleeves and pants are not necessary but are a good idea. There's no PO in the grasslands but there are plenty of plants that one can have an itchy reaction to. SF Rec and Park will provide tools and gloves, water and post-work snacks. The snacks are from Arizmendi Bakery and are outstanding. SFH3 will provide more snacks and BEER. No trail will be marked to the worksite, since you should be able to see the volunteer crew by just looking up the hill. I will provide rides from the Glen Park BART Station to the start. Contact me for details.
