August 18, 2007 — Trail Repair in Alman Marsh
Thanks to Sabrina Hearst, teacher at the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center in Two Rock, and 20 of her students, the low spot on the Alman Marsh Trail which floods during the rainy season is now repaired.  Peter Colasanti, a contractor who is a PWA board member & docent, guided six of the students in the trail repair.  While these students worked on the trail repair, Sabrina and the remaining 14 students removed Bristly Ox-tongue and Prickly Lettuce in a nearby meadow.  Within two hours, the trail was repaired and thirty-five, 4x4-foot bags were filled with these very invasive, nonnative weeds.  The project was coordinated by Gerald Moore, PWA Chair, and supported by Ron DeNicola, Petaluma Parks and Landscape Manager.
