Time of this event is 12 noon - 3 pm (Google Calendar is displaying the wrong time under some conditions.)

In an attempt to preserve Fern Ravine from overuse we are having a work day there, February 6th. We are going to meet up on the road next to Sequoia Arena sign along Skyline Blvd. at 12noon. I would suggest parking behind MHA building. Then will go down road to Ravine itself. We will provide tools, but please bring gloves and mask. We can easily social distance. Please advise if you can participate.

FOJMP and FOSC are attempting to protect this wetland of the Sausal Creek watershed. FOSC began planting ferns there this week. Oakland Forever is assisting us with volunteers.

While trail maintenance is on hold for planning and fundraising, let's attempt to to good!

Development Committee Report - Julie Mills
Met with key Park leaders.
Need to fund raise to get grants.

Hub volunteer tracking. Credit for many grants are given either to funds raised or in kind hours. By counting all your time, your volunteer hours, meeting hours, research time, everything. Keep track now, City is updating new system to track. Credits $29.00 for every hour tracked. -Deidre Martin

Report on Fern Ravine Restoration effort joining FOSC in helping to finish their project. They have provided sword ferns, and natives to plant. Will need more plants and soon. We could do divisions or purchase. A local nursery has starters from Redwood Regional. Would this source be close enough to be considered native? It requires additional split rail fencing. Approximately $1200.00 per 100 ft. This effort is to stop further erosion- Dale Risden
