It became an official support group of the City in 2014. The purpose of the FOMTNP is to support the City in implementing the Mission Trail Nature Preserve Master Plan, including the removal of invasive flora. Since 2009, FOMTNP has, among other works, conducted, on a regular basis (now on the second Saturday on each month), work parties in the Preserve resulting in thousands of volunteer hours of work, removing invasive plants from the Preserve by hand and performing other light maintenance. The Friends of Mission Trail Nature Preserve continued their stewardship of the preserve, contributing labor, funding, and coordination with the city to implement our Annual Work Program. Highlights included:Continued removal of invasive plants with the goals of both promoting the growth of native plants and reducing wildfire risk. In particular, this year we did extensive removal of both poison hemlock and wild radish, both of which dry out to become fire fuel. In addition, we continued to remove acacia sprouts and highly flammable genista.Planting of native grasses to reestablish a marsh meadow near one of the park entrances.Planting of native trees in an area recently cleared of invasives.Preparing a 2,500 square foot site for new redwood plantings.Creating our first educational sign board to teach visitors about the root system of our native Monterey Pine trees.Closing a dangerous section of one of our trails and rerouting that trail, which involved building a new footbridge.Collaborating with the city and the fire department on their Fire Defense Plan, influencing that plan to be more protective of native species. Related to this, we widened the main trail to improve accessibility for fire-fighting equipment. 34341 34341 Greg D'Ambrosio Vice President 7.00 0 Marsha Zelus Director 1.00 0 Mary Anne Lloyd Director 1.00 0 Karen Ferlito President 6.00 0 Scott Lonergan Director 9.00 0 Laura Bowling Director 5.00 0 Linda Calafiore Secretary 2.00 0 Jill Petker Director 2.00 0 Bill Doolittle Director 1.00 0 false false false false false false false 0 0 0 false 0 0 false Karen Ferlito PO Box 505 Carmel CA 93921 8315956458 false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 21865 97896 108746 36299 14796 279602 0 0 0 0 21865 97896 108746 36299 14796 279602 0 0 279602 4855 4792 9647 0 4855 4792 9647 0 0 21865 97896 108746 41154 19588 289249 0.96660 0.98420 0.03340 0.01580 X Other Expenses.1 Preserve Maintenence $25699 Other Expenses.2 Administration $4607 Other Expenses.3 Educational Signage $3563 Other Expenses.4 Plants and Trees $3125 Other Expenses.5 Tools and Supplies $1954
