This month we have the opportunity to have a trails outing in partnership with the City. Obviously, this outing will be very different from our normal outings.

We will work with a City staff member to identify and remove an invasive grass from along the Headwaters Trail, within 20 ft of the trail.

Attendees will practice social distancing and mask wearing throughout the event. Please bring your own gloves and tools (such as hori-hori knives and a hand tillers).

Meet at the main Martin Street Trailhead.

Trip Report

Most of our group met up with Ivery to remove false brome at the correct Amazon Headwares trailhead and hiked up the trail learning to identify false brome and practicing its removal while avoiding poison oak. Those of us whose dog decided to run off and explore the neighborhood arrived late and got in a excellent hike up and down the headwaters trail only to find them on a parallel trail. We learned quickly to identify the yellowish grass with the slightly hairy stalk as false brome and remove it.
