SHEPHERD CANYON
This former city dump has been gradually transformed into a place of beauty thanks to the Shepherd Canyon Eco-Pullers, a group supported by the Shepherd Canyon Homeowners Association. The homeowners association, in cooperation with FOSC, commissioned a vegetation survey in 2003. The resulting management plan guides native plantings on public as well as private lands and informs the fire mitigation plan for the canyon. For information on volunteer workdays, contact Mike Petouhoff at mike.petouhoff@yahoo.com.
