October 10, 2007 through October 22, 2007 This Sunday, Oct 21, please join us to help install flycatcher and swallow nestboxes along our riparian restoration projects on San Geronimo Creek. This workday is being led by a local Boy Scout, Aaron Frantz, who built these boxes to help the neotropical migratory birds that travel thousands of miles each spring to nest in our neighborhoods. All equip/tools provided.

At 1pm a small group of us will break off for one of our seasonal seed scouting expeditions through the Valley. We will gather acorns, elderberry, hazelnut, maple and ash seeds for propagation in our new native plant nursery where we are growing plants exclusively for Valley restoration projects along coho creeks.

WHEN:
Birdbox installation, 9am -12pm.
Seed Collection, 1-3pm.
