MAY AT THE BURN SCAR
Community Workday
By Hannah Pae
Terremoto
TIME: 8:00-11:30am
DATE: May 17, 2024
TEMP: n/a
WEATHER: overcast
WIND (SPEED/DIRECTION): n/a
SOIL MOISTURE: dry
PLANTS SIGHTINGS:
-Clarkia superbloom
-California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)
-California Brittlebush (Encelia californica)
WEED SIGHTINGS:
-Black mustard (Brassica nigra)
WILDLIFE SIGHTINGS:
-Eucalyptus leaf beetle larvae (Chrysophtharta m-fuscum)
Brought out the scythes and cut back a lot of the flowering black mustard surrounding the test plot before they went to seed, mulched, and hand-weeded.
Bringing mulch up the hill from the parking lot to the site in wheelbarrows has continued to be a physically strenuous and time consuming affair, so we’ve prioritized mulching around new plants before spreading elsewhere on the test plot.
