Join Midpen staff for a fun workday removing invasive French Broom at Bear Creek Redwoods Open Space Preserve in a former Christmas Tree Farm that is being restored. Staff will provide training on plant identification, removal techniques, and information about why we want to remove this plant from our local landscape.
