Earth Day Volunteers Mulch Point Isabel’s Mini Forest

Point Isabel Regional Shoreline’s mini forest got some Tender Loving Care on Earth Day weekend from 18 volunteers including PIDO members and the UC Berkeley Prytanean Women's Honor Society. The hardworking crew mulched some two dozen young trees along a large swath adjacent to the bike path. East Bay Regional Park District supervisor Scott Possin provided wheel barrows, shovels, rakes, hoes, and rich landscaping know-how. As the trees grow, they will soften the industrial view of the U.S. Post Office’s bulk mail distribution center. Thank you to PIDO board members Jon Gross, Mary Barnsdale, Priscilla Hoffman, Penny Green, and Chris Matthews for organizing the mulching party, to EBPRD for supporting the event, and to everyone who pitched in. PIDO holds weed pulls and cleanups as part of its commitment to keep Point Isabel clean, safe, and off-leash for all to enjoy.
