Cotati Creek Critters: Stewardship Day This Saturday

A message from creek stewardship organizers: Cotati Creek Critters new planting project, where we’ll be planting 350 native trees and shrubs this fall and winter.

Saturday, Nov. 5 is the next work day. Meet at Gravenstein Way, near Falletti Park. Gravenstein Way runs east from the traffic lights on Old Redwood Hwy, just north of Walgreens and the new Peet's Coffee which is currently under construction, across from Hwy 116 to Sebastopol.

From Old Redwood Hwy drive east two blocks, over Wilford Lane, to the bridge over the Laguna channel and you will see us nearby. Parking is in residential streets so please be considerate of neighbors.  Better still, bicycle if you can!

Please dress for work and weather with old clothes, in layers, with boots or sturdy shoes, and long pants as protection against mud and blackberry thorns.  We provide gloves and tools. Please bring your own drinking water bottle and leave valuables at home. 

Just turn up, unless you are bringing a group in which case it would help us with planning to have some idea of how many people to expect. 

Please check www.CotatiCreekCritters.info for Creek Stewardship Day guidelines, directions and maps, and also for listings of all the dates of future Creek Stewardship Days – first Saturdays and third Sundays - through May 2012.
