The Land Trust’s second volunteer workday was a huge success! 🌱💪

14 volunteers joined us on Saturday morning at Glenwood Open Space to remove invasive stinkwort near the endangered Ohlone tiger beetle habitat at the preserve 🪲

Our Land Stewardship team monitors the endangered beetle’s population every year here along a bare dirt trail that is created by cows walking around the grassy hillside.

The beetles prefer bare dirt areas to mate, and weeds like stinkwort can quickly take over their rare habitat.

The team weeded and bagged up 12 TRASH BAGS full of weeds that now won’t go to seed in this sensitive habitat.

Thank you to our awesome volunteers for helping our land stewardship efforts at Glenwood, and keeping the Ohlone tiger beetle habitat intact!
