Letter: Coastside Land Trust restoration event at Francis Beach, Saturday

The Coastside Land Trust is holding our monthly restoration event at our Francis Beach properties this coming Saturday, July 26th, 12:30 to 3pm.  We’re making good progress re-establishing native vegetation on these properties. It sometimes seems like an impossible task, but if you look a the picture with Michael Kimsey and his adopted berry vine, it is clear that Michael is winning ground for the berry vine. Berry vines provide both shelter and food for animals. This year’s is a particularly good year for our native berries, and the birds, insects, and people are enjoying them and thriving.

Please join us. Check in at the Francis State Beach kiosk at Kelly and the Pacific Ocean, proceed north on the maintenance road to the maintenance sheds. Our properties are on the east side of the maintenance road. Refreshments, good humor and appreciation are provided for all ages and abilities.
