Even with a small crew, we got a lot done this morning:
- Took the temperature of the compost piles. One was cooking at 150 degrees!
- Built up another compost pile with leaves, coffee grounds, and water.
- Spread dirt in another space for wildflower seeds.
- Gathered dormant hardwood cuttings of escarpment black cherry to root for the Vireo Preserve Nursery.
- Planted a donated red buckeye in a newly cleared area down in the canyon.
- Added to a brush berm that Jim is building halfway down the hillside to slow the water flow during rain events.
- Dug a hole to plant a madrone seedling another day.
