Many thanks to all the amazing WCCA volunteers who show up to help the watershed day after day, and have fun together at the same time! Here are a couple of photos from our recent success removing over 100 invasive Spanish broom plants from the Wolf Creek floodplain at the Roy Peterson Wolf Creek Preserve. We planted native milkweed seeds in their wake, and are pleased to have prevented hundreds of thousands of broom seeds from being produced next year, following Wendell Berry’s advice to “Do unto those downstream as you would have those upstream do unto you!”

Much gratitude to the Rose Foundation for Communities and the Environment for funding some of our stewardship work parties at the Roy Peterson Wolf Creek Preserve through their California Wildlands Grassroots Fund; to the State Water Board for financing other work parties at the Preserve with SEP funds; and to the Peterson family for their continued generous support. Our work would not be possible without the kindness of funders like these, and all of our wonderful donors, sponsors, and volunteers!
