help us weed non-native, invasive plants at this natural gem of San

Help
restore habitat at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve, known for
fabulous wildflowers and amazing diversity. Weeders see far more than

seen only by weeders. To participate, join the email list and sign the
electronic volunteer agreement, by sending an email to
weed-warriors-coord @ friendsofedgewood.org.
