Combating Tamarisk at Riley Park in May 2008

Our class treks through the parking lot to the restoration site, carrying the heavy weed wrenches that will aid us in removing the pesky tamarisk and Scotch broom. Notice the good spacing between tools/people - a safetly measure we learn in class.

Reggie always finds time to snap a shot of something beautiful to remind us why we are sweating so much!

The guys stand proudly over their tamarisk root ball conquest.

A surprise find in the creek bed.

The obligatory safety meeting after the day's events. It's good to review what went well, and what worried us. Someday we will all be leading groups of volunteers into the wilderness. Watch out!
