About 25 neighbors, friends, and staff convened at Rio Vista on Saturday the 21st to help beautify the main entrance of the park with trees and small plants. The plants were selected by Carianne Funicelli of Strategic Habitat Enhancements (SHE), https://www.strategichabitats.com/, who is on contract to design the native restoration plantings for the park. The plants including native trees like Desert willow, Screwbean mesquite, and Canyon hackberry as well as native plants including ocotillo, Thurber’s desert honeysuckle, desert milkweed, desert lavender and more are drought resistant and were raised locally. The drip irrigation from the existing system was extended to each plant.
Under the direction of Carianne with support from Watershed Management Group project staff, the group was split up into three groups: one for planting trees, one for planting small plants, and one for making wire cages. With varying skills but all with the same eagerness and goal to help their beloved park, the teams got to work. By the end of three hours, the teams were experts!
More planting restoration events are scheduled for Saturday mornings on Oct 5, Nov 2, and Nov 30 in different focus areas of the park, so come out and enjoy the camaraderie. Visit https://watershedmg.org/event to register.
