[ACT] REMINDER: Chaney Trail Brush Clearance Party 8:30 AM to 12:00N Today in Altadena.

[Gaboon]

Dear Neighbors, Friends & Volunteers--

	We are definitely doing the brush and cleanup job this morning.  We  
got only a trace of run, and any light showers this morning will not  
prevent us from proceeding.
	So we hope to see you at 8:30 AM or so on Chaney Trail (which is a  
road) just above Nuccio’s Nursery and the intersection with Alzada  
Road.  If yo can only come for an hour or two, that's great; we need  
the help.  We'll wind up around 12 noon.

Many hands make for light work.
Thanks,
Robert Staehle

> We're doing it again...clearing flammable brush growth off the  
> Altadena Foothills Conservancy land along Chaney Trail that many of  
> you helped purchase and protect. Growth has been modest, and  
> progress from prior years has made the job easier, but we still  
> need all your help to make the job go fast, and to make our  
> neighborhood even safer. The oak saplings are growing, and some  
> poppies are blooming.  They are slowly displacing more flammable  
> vegetation.
>
> If you possibly can, please contribute 1 to 4 hours of your time to  
> help clear brush off AFC's land. Refreshments will be served, and  
> you'll meet new people who also care about our land. We need your  
> help Saturday, May 2, doing County-mandated brush clearance near  
> the road and the two houses opposite the land preserved by Altadena  
> Foothills Conservancy on the west side of Chaney Trail. The  
> Altadena Crest Trail crosses the NW portion of this triangular  
> parcel.  Start time is 8:30 AM; however, you can come later, if  
> need be.  Meet on Chaney Trail just above Nuccio’s Nursery and the  
> intersection with Alzada Road. You'll see me there, or down on the  
> slope below.

> Many hands make for light work!  If we have some extra of you

> detachment to reducing fuel load (mustard) along the ACT to the  
> west of Chaney Trail.  Thanks to John Sweeney and others who have  
> already started careful neighborhood fuel reduction!
>
> Please wear sturdy shoes for work on the slope. Long pants, long  
> sleeves, and garden gloves are highly recommended, and a hat if it  
> is sunny. Bring your own tools, or I’ll have some extra: e.g.,  
> loppers, clippers, saw.  We’ll take care to avoid any bird nests  
> and poison oak.

> If you would prefer not to work, but can make a contribution to  
> cover brush haulage or the Conservancy’s land stewardship, that  
> would be most welcome! Thanks to those who've already made a
> contribution! Make checks out to: Altadena Foothills Conservancy,  
> P.O. Box 3, Altadena, CA 91003-0003 or donate via AFC's website:

> We hope to see you there.  And we’ll tell you more about AFC’s plan  
> to become the Arroyos and Foothills Conservancy, expanding our  
> Board and service area.

> Thank you!
