FW: Wildlife Protection Project This Saturday!

[Guest guest]

Wildlife Protection Project This Saturday!

 

In Defense of Animals

 

Please join us this Saturday for IDA's wildlife protection

project!

 

Normally the first Saturday of every month (we pushed it

back a week this month because of the holidays), volunteers help gophers by

planting native plants and landscaping the area around The Great Highway as

part of The San Francisco Wildlife Protection Project. The Project is a

joint effort by In Defense of Animals and the San Francisco Recreation &

Parks Department to create a wildlife " sanctuary " along the Great Highway.

By landscaping the area according to the Parks Department's specifications,

volunteers create a habitat for native gophers and prevent them from being

trapped and killed.

 

As we shared with you last month, this vitally important

wildlife protection project is in jeopardy of being cancelled. The SF Rec &

Parks Department allocates a staffperson and supplies, and if we cannot

increase the number of volunteers to at least 10 people each month, they

will not continue this life-saving project. We were pleased to have some

great new folks join us recently, and we're hoping for an even better

turnout this month to keep the Project's momentum going.

 

We urge your to join us (and bring a friend or two) for

this fun and unique opportunity to save the lives of gophers, beautify the

area, learn about native plants and wildlife, and make new friends. We hope

to see you there!

 

WHEN? This Saturday, January 10, from 9 am to Noon

 

WHERE? Great Highway and Wawona Street, San Francisco, CA

 

Vegan refreshments provided.

 

Please note: The event will be cancelled in the event of

rain.

 

Be sure to wear comfortable clothes you don't mind getting

dirty!

 

Please contact IDA founder and president Dr. Elliot Katz

We hope to see you there!
