SEASIDE — Each Wednesday
now through Sept. 14, the
North Coast Land Conservan-
cy stewardship crew will host
Weed Warrior Wednesdays, a
weekly event to tackle various
projects on NCLC lands.
Staff and volunteers are
welcome to join any or all
Wednesdays this summer.
Stewardship events will take
place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Meet at the barns at Circle
Creek Habitat Reserve, and
work will often take place
somewhere on that property.
Sometimes volunteers will
carpool to another site, de-
pending on what the steward-
ship crew determines to be the
priority for that day.
W³ days will usually
consist of weed removal ac-
tivities but may include other
kinds of projects, such as trail
building and maintenance,
native plant caretaking, and
site cleanups.
Why join NCLC for these
projects? For fun — and
also to help take care of
NCLC lands and to assist the
stewardship team in its duties.
The crew is looking forward
to connecting more with
the community through W³,

or for directions.
In general, volunteers
should bring water, a snack,
gloves and rubber boots, and
a hat or sunscreen. The NCLC
stewardship crew has boots
