Fern Dell Preparation for Coming Winter Storms Continues

Friends of Griffith Park volunteers have been working in this area since Earth Day in preparation of the winter storms. We began cleaning the area near Parking Lot #9 at the northern end and have been steadily moving toward Los Feliz Blvd. Currently, we’re working near the section where Fern Dell and Red Oak Drive meet. Volunteers will meet here to register and get a quick orientation for the work we’ll be achieving.

We’ll be removing debris, small branches, twigs and invasive plants from stream beds and adjacent areas so water will able to flow unrestricted.

FoGP will supply hand tools, work gloves, water and cups, but if you have your own gloves and/or water containers, please bring them. We do recommend wearing long pants, closed-toe shoes or boots, sunscreen. If you have sensitive skin, you should wear a long-sleeve shirt even though we’re working primarily in the shade. We also recommend a mask as it does get dusty (we will have some on hand). And lastly, bring a hat.

LOOK FOR FRIENDS OF GRIFFITH PARK SIGNS which will direct you!

Before you come, we ask that you PLEASE fill out a volunteer form (RAP requires one for all volunteers working in the Park) and send to rossarnold1213@gmail.com
