About
Let’s uproot young Ligustrum lucidum (glossy privet) so it can’t get big enough to bear fruit. We will be working in an area where the mature trees have been dead for years.
As we work, you will be able to see how effectively this invasive tree chokes out all native vegetation. These saplings sprouted from the last seed crop of the long-dead mature glossy privets. By removing them, we will eradicate the infestation completely.
We will meet at the picnic shelter in Walnut Creek Metropolitan Park and walk a short distance to the target area. The brush is thick, so come prepared! See the Requirements for more info.
Wear long pants—blue jeans if you have them—and sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Crocs or flip-flops won’t be enough protection, but sneakers would be. Bring drinking water! If the fountains at the park are even on, they’re a long walk from our project site.
Other than that, just be there! Work gloves and tools will be provided.
