Cut Your Own “Charlie Brown Perfect”
Holiday Tree - In Pacifica!
How would you like to cut your own Holiday tree and garlands, contribute to the Pacifica Land Trust, help with native plant restoration, and hike in one of the most beautiful areas on the coast? We hope it’s an offer you can't refuse.
On Sunday, November 27th from 10 am to 2 pm the Pacifica Land Trust and Pedro Point Community Association will be hosting a "Get Your Charlie Brown Tree" stewardship event to remove spreading Monterey Pines from the shrublands. The many mature groves of pines on the Pedro Point Headlands are starting to spread and convert the diverse grass and shrublands into less diverse forests. By removing the spreading trees we strengthen the overall health of this wonderful ecosystem. All Monterey Pine groves will be left intact for wildlife and bird habitat.
So get in the holiday spirit and come get your special tree or boughs for garland and wreath building! Please meet in the Castle Kitchen parking lot (next to Pedro Point Ace Hardware) between 10:00 and 2.00pm and travel to the Headlands. Trucks will transport the trees back to the signup location. Many of the trees are on the Middle Ridge or even near the ocean bluff so please bring help to carry it down to the loading area. We'll have help available but can't guarantee enough for everyone.
These trees will be of varying shapes and sizes—all guaranteed natural and free range. The views are spectacular and the community spirit the best. What’s not to like?
Donations to the Pacifica Land Trust will be much appreciated and assist them to preserve, protect and enhance the natural, scenic, recreational, cultural, historic and open space environment of Pacifica and the surrounding community for present and future generations.
Happy Holidays, and hope to see you on November 27th. For more info about the Pedro Point Headlands and our stewardship work, please go to www.pedropointheadlands.org. For questions or to sign up for other restoration work on the Headlands, please call 650.355.1668.
