Hi All!

We will be having two volunteer days at the preserve in the coming weeks.

April 25th 8am-12noon

May 9th 8am-12noon

The April cleanup will be concentrated around the staging/parking area on the north side of the river. We will be pulling weeds in the parking lot and clearing trash and dead shrubs and trees. We will also be repairing the fencing where it is sagging. If that is finished early, we may weed and spread mulch around the young trees on the Preserve.

The May cleanup is sponsored by East Rotary Club. Again, on the north side of the river we will be collecting tumbleweeds and disposing of an old wood pile and as time allows may weed and spread mulch around the young trees.

We will provide water/drinks and a snack. Please bring gloves, rakes, shovels or anything you think might be helpful.

If you have any questions, please call me at 872-3569 or e-mail me at jgbelli@bak.rr.com

Thanks! Carolyn

Ed. Note: The Panorama Preserve is an area that has been acquired through the hard work of individuals who knew who to contact, which buttons to push, were willing in some cases to donate money, and/or were willing to donate sweat. The preserve is an area that surrounds the north and south sides of the Kern River between China Grade Loop Road and Manor Ave.

A handful of people regularly show up to plant, water and weed to return the preserve to its former status. This is your opportunity to join in and help. Contact some friends and make it a fun outing and be able to tell your grandkids that you were there!!!!!! For more information about the preserve go to the website:
