Short Description of Activity
Barbara Susie and Bucky spent Public Lands Day with our friends at KS WILD. For the 4th year the Rogue Broads have helped in the stewardship of 8$ Mountain near Selma OR. The volunteers worked to protect and restore the Eight Dollar Mountain Botanical area and a nearby Jeffrey Pine Savanna. These botanical hotspots are home to rare and endemic flora such as the Siskiyou paintbrush which is only found in Josephine county and the unusual serpentine fens abounding with Cobra lilies.
Reflection/Evaluation
With the help of 13 volunteers together we implemented on the ground restoration projects that included:
140 pounds of trash collected, fire ring and parking area clean up, invasive weed removal, erosion debris cleanup Repaired buck/rail fencing at $8 Green Bridge parking area and replaced a Botanical Area sign.
Installed one new and replaced one faded 12×18‚Äù Botanical Area signs and added three new carsonite markers ‚Äúno motorized vehicles‚Äù along Rd. 4201 which borders the meadow along the Jeffrey Pine savanna
We also met someone interested in becoming a Broad!
