Cottonwood Creek Friends and Supporters- We will be having a special work party this Saturday, June 25, from 10 AM to around noon. Torrey Neel, founder of the wonderful store EnvironGentle on Coast Highway 101 between D and E streets in downtown Encinitas (www.EnvironGentle.com & www.SaveOuroaks.org) has donated to us eight scrub oaks she started from acorns. Two have been planted and we will do the other six on Sat. It's important to get them in the ground soon, as it is late in the planting season. These trees are the namesake of our city: Encinitas is Spanish for "little oaks" and they will be replacements for ones that did not survive from our 2005 Slope Re-vegetation Project. If we have extra time and energy we may do some additional weeding. Our next regularly scheduled work party will be Sat., July 16. Cottonwood Creek Conservancy is looking for a volunteer coordinator to help maintain and send emails and contact lists and facilitate volunteer communications. If you know of someone interested in this unpaid position, please have them contact me at this email address. -Brad Roth, Project Manager Cottonwood Creek Conservancy (760) 436-2632
