There is nothing like planting native plants on Billy Goat Hill in January! If you haven't experienced this, you haven't gotten to know the 'real' San Francisco! On January 14th 2012, for the second year in a row, Friends of Billy Goat Hill along with the team from the SF Rec & Parks Natural Areas Program will be planting native plants and seeding native grasses on BGH.
Last year in January we were up to our ankles in fabulous, muddy SF soil - planting over 200 native plants. If you walked the new trail sometime this year, I'm sure you enjoyed the smells of the California Sagebrush and the pretty blossoms of Sticky Monkey Bush and Douglas Iris.
On Tuesday January 10th, the crew from the Natural Areas will start preparing for the planting. Volunteers are welcome. On Saturday January 14th from 1pm-3pm (rain or shine) we will do most of the planting and spreading the grass seed. Planting in the mud is hard work so the more volunteers the better!
Put on your boots (I wear an old pair of waterproof ski pants over my jeans to keep the legs dry) and meet us on the hill - top or the bottom - we'll be working on both areas.
DON'T FORGET THE KIDS! Kids enjoy playing in the mud almost as much as adults!
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to all the Friends of Billy Goat Hill
