SNAKE TRAIL REVITALIZATION

In late winter 2021, SPB coordinated with Girl Scout Troop 3141 to clean up the lower Snake Trail and add about 20 shade-loving, drought tolerant California Native Plants for their Silver award. It is a very challenging, hilly site filled with lots of weeds and no water source. The plants are still on the small side, but are thriving.  The scouts had to hand water the plants every few weeks in the summer due to it being a very dry year, but they persevered. The new plants are as follows: Fuschia Flowered Gooseberry, Catalina Perfume Currant, Heartleaf Penstemon, Chaparral Clematis, Creeping Snowberry, Hummingbird Sage, Coffeeberry, Island Alumroot, Margarita BOP Foothill Penstemon and Narrowleaf Milkweed. We would like to clean up more of the trail and add additional native plants in the future. Let us know if you are interested in helping out.
