Restoration update week of January 30
We continued to remove Black mustard (Brassica nigra) at Lusardi Creek. We and other chapter members helped at the CNPS-SD booth at the Land Acknowledgement Celebration Event held at City College on Tuesday, and at the Love/Save Your Wetlands Day at the Kendall Marsh Preserve on Mission Bay on Saturday. This was a big event, with nature lovers present in great abundance. All of us became hoarse from talking loud enough to be heard.

If you visit the San Diego Audubon Society Facebook page, you will see me in the background of one of the photos posted for the Land Celebration.
This week we will work on restoration Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We think it will be too late to sow native seed, but we will continue to collect seed of Black sage (Salvia mellifera) and California buckwheat (Eriogonum fasciculatum) and possibly other species for next season. Email me if you can help.
