- THIS IS CHC STEWARDSHIP VOLUNTEER EVENT, IT IS NOT A HIKE *
Sunday, March 20, 2022 – CONDOR CLEAN UP in the St. Francia Dam area, near Santa Clarita
Description:
We need your help to pick up broken shards of glass in the lower section of the St. Francis Dam National Monument. There are 400 flights of condors over this area every day. They love the shiny glass…they eat it and the feed glass to their chicks. Both can die from ingesting the glass. Needless to say, as this stuff is not digestable, this can kill them.
It is Easy work….bring a heavy plastic bag (like a grocery bag) to put the glass in. Wear garden gloves. Bring a low to the ground chair to sit in while you pick up the glass. Thank you for helping the condors survive.
Dianne will take away your bags of broken glass to recyle them.
