June 24, 2024 • Lompico Pond Workday
Over a dozen volunteers participated in the fourth cleanup event at Lompico Pond on Saturday, June 24th.

To date, volunteers on this project have:
- Removed all of the invasive French Broom
- Removed most of the vinca/periwinkle along Lakeshore Drive
- Cleared ladder fuel in several stands of redwood trees
- Mulched areas needing soil remediation utilizing material from fuel maintenance
- Trimmed vegetation along the existing trail and removed storm-related debris
- Began remediation strategy to remove several large patches of invasive Himalayan blackberry
Lompico Pond volunteer days are the last Saturday of every month from 10 am to noon.
