Nature Park Volunteer Day (Oct)

Micro-forest Monitoring, Rain Garden, Care for the Park

This month we will continue monitoring plant growth in the micro-forest. We will also continue installing a rain garden to slow down, collect and infiltrate runoff. And, as always, we will prune, weed, pick up litter and care for our nature park.

Where: 100 block of Pasadena Avenue in South Pasadena, east of York Blvd Bridge.
The upper entrance, marked by a small plaque on an attractive river rock wall, is in the 100 block of Pasadena Avenue in South Pasadena, east of the York Street Bridge. There is plenty of on-street parking on Pasadena Avenue.
The lower entrance is just past the Arroyo Seco Golf Course driving range. Parking is available at the Golf Course Clubhouse at 1055 Lohman Ln with additional parking on Lohman Ln west of the tennis courts. Walk westward to the park from the pedestrian path located at the west end of Lohman Ln.
