Greenway Update Winter 2020

February 13, 2020 by Nicholas Dewar

We had a very productive and entertaining morning at the last Greenway work day. The weather turned out to be ideal for us. Many thanks to the wonderfully enthusiastic gardeners who were able to join us. A special shout out to Canyon Market for providing such delicious coffee to get us started in the morning.

We had a great turn out of volunteers. Here’s our volunteer line up – many thanks to these volunteers:

  • Supervisor Rafael Mandelman
  • Susanna Russo
  • Dan Wright
  • Terrie Campbell
  • Adrienne Lacau
  • Sally Ross
  • Kathy Keller
  • Maria Hekker
  • Jay Estey
  • Kay Estey
  • Amy Hutmacher
  • Horacio Diaz
  • Darlene Shadel
  • Anthony W Jones
  • Roxana Garcia
  • Ada Popmel
  • Suma McGourty
  • Daryl Browne
  • Charlotte Worcester
A special welcome to those in the team who came to their first work-party: Amy and Horacio, Anthony, Roxana, Ada, Suma and Daryl. We look forward to seeing you on the Greenway again.
Many thanks to SF Public Works for lending us tools and for sending along a contingent from their Clean & Green Team led by Paul Noa. Thanks also to the other organizations and individuals that provide the support that makes our Greenway project possible including: SF Public Utilities Commission, SF Community Challenge Grant Program, Supervisor Rafael Mandelman and his staff in the District 8 office, the Bay Area Ridge Trail Council, the Glen Park Association, the Glen Park Garden Club and Canyon Market.
Thanks also to those of you who have donated so generously to fund our maintenance budget.
With this support, and our group of twenty volunteers and a dozen in the Clean & Green Team we got a lot done:
  • Mowed the remaining fennel – it really does look better without the fennel forest!
  • Uprooted or cut off the sprouts that have emerged from the roots and stumps of the trees removed by SFPW in Nov 2017 – we’ve worked on this task for many months and we’re almost done!
  • Uprooted more of the French Broom shrubs that have started to colonize the Greenway between Chilton and Burnside. Many thanks to David Hammer for lending us his amazing weed wrench that made this task much easier.
  • Weeded and cut back encroaching vegetation around the 15-gallon trees that we planted in December 2017 – this is one of those jobs that we have to do each year and we made a good start on it.
  • Weeded and mulched the planted area at the head of the Chilton cul-de-sac – this has got to be the best-cared-for part of the entire Greenway!

It was a very satisfying party rounded off with some delicious sandwiches shared in the shade of the Stone Pines at the head of the Chilton Avenue cul-de-sac.

We’re planning another work-party for a Saturday in March when we’ll get the Greenway ready for the dry season. I hope to see you then.

Many thanks for all that you do for the Greenway,
