lagunakeepers 2010 schedule
LagunaKeepers are the Foundation's habitat restoration volunteers. Each month, in partnership with the City of Santa Rosa, we meet to give the Laguna a little hands-on love! This can mean fence removal, willow sprigging, weed control, or planting, depending on the site and the time of year.
Keepers meet at locations throughout the Laguna, but workdays are most always on a Saturday from 9am to noon. Be sure to wear shoes and clothes you don't mind getting dirty. Only heavy rain cancels. Snacks are on us, but do bring gloves, water, and friends! LagunaKeepers 2009-2010 Calendar

January 9: Tree-A-Thon at Meadowlark Field
We've planted 1500 trees and shrubs here already, but 1000 more can't hurt. Meet at Sebastopol Community Center, 390 Morris Street, for a shuttle to the planting site.
February 20: Laguna Uplands
Last year, we met on Valentine's Day and ate cupcakes. This year, why skip the cupcakes? Meet at the end of Palm Avenue in Sebastopol, just south of Palm Drive Hospital.
March 27: Irwin Creek
Continuing the expansion of the Irwin Creek riparian corridor, and a chance to revisit last year's plantings. Meet at the Laguna Foundation's office, 900 Sanford Road, Santa Rosa, and we'll caravan to the site.
April 17: Native Plant Demonstration Garden
Phase three of the installation of the new garden, plus planting grasses and sedges at the Joint Wetlands area. Meet at the Treatment Plant, 4300 Llano Road, Santa Rosa. Follow signs to the "Administration" building.
May 8: Balletto Easement
This planting has reached three years old, and it's time for it to fly solo. We'll remove restoration hardware and drip tubing, and wish the plants a good long life! Meet at Kelly Farm, 5344 Occidental Road, Santa Rosa.
