TULE PONDS
at TYSON LAGOON
Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon is a fresh water restoration and educational wetland. It uses stormwater and a natural sag pond (created by the Hayward Fault) to design restoration with native plants. These plants have over the last few years attracted native animals including the yellow legged frog, western pond turtle, osprey, kestrel, red winged blackbird, and many more. We also “share” the experience with Alameda County schools and community members. The workshop is ideal for high school or community college teachers working with community service and “green” classes. People working in restoration would also benefit from this overview of restoration in an open aquatic and riparian environment. The workshop will focus on restoration techniques including how to propagate aquatic plants like tules. We will also discuss how to maintain an area using community service, service learning, community, corporate, and scout volunteers. Participants will receive a 150 pg book on Tule Ponds that identifies most of the organisms. Seeds, small plants, and cuttings will also be available. Registration is required; Space is limited to 15 people. You will receive a guidebook of the flora and fauna of the area. Lunch is provided.
