This was the scene at the Demonstration Forest during the April 13,2002 workday. California poppies and 'Dark Star' ceanothus were in full bloom --- what a beautiful backdrop for a morning of weeding and catching up with friends. Volunteers pitching in to keep the Demonstration Forest beautiful included the Cal and Tami Gunther family; Joan Collier; Simone and Garrett Smith; Jim DeLuca; Sheila and Kieran Beccia; David, Joseph and Thomas Arndt; CeeCee and Ty Giovannetti (Cub Scout Troop #125); William Head (C.S. Troop #125); and Beverly Gingg.
