Work Day at Rio Vista Park, January 22, 2022

The day was sunny and cool. The work crew (Catlow, Estelle, John, Josh, Larry, Lindy, Michele, Murray, Pat, Stephen, Steve, Sue and Terry) focused at the southeast corner of the Park. Swales were dug out around the eucalyptus to help retain water. Several large African sumac (was named Rhus lancea now Searsia lancea) that were crowding out the mesquite in the area were cut down—a major accomplishment. We also started to assess and work on enhancing the stormwater flow into that corner of the Park.  Future work will be to coordinate with Parks and Rec to increase flow into and through the Park.
