Looks like the county can bring us some mulch first thing Friday AM.  So we would like to have a mulching party to help save the burned fruit orchard on Sunday.

*When*:  Sunday, Dec. 14, 10:30 AM to 2 PM
            Rain will cancel

*Where:*  545 Conejo Rd.  (Directions below)  There is a detour so Google Maps and GPS will not give accurate directions.

*What:*  Spread Mulch around the burned trees to harvest water.  We hope to revive some of them.  The lot has been cleared.   Only the foundation of the house remains.  The garden in some places is largely untouched by the fire.

*Bring: * Lunch, Sturdy clothes & Hat, water.  Shovels & Gloves. 
Plastic garbage cans and sturdy paint-type buckets are good for taking the mulch down the hill to the trees.  We have 2 wheelbarrows.  One more would be good if someone has one.

Thanks a bunch!

Directions:

545 Conejo Rd. Santa Barbara

From Hwy 101, take the Milpas St. Exit.  Go through the roundabout staying on Milpas towards town.  Turn right at the traffic light at Montecito St.  Go through the little  roundabout and turn onto the first Alameda Padre Sierra Street.  Follow the detour signs.  If you don't pass Cleveland School you have taken the wrong Alameda Padre Sierra Street.  Keep following the detour signs the whole way.  Take Eucalyptus Hill Rd. on the left for about 100 yards.  Go onto Barker Pass Rd.  Left on Sycamore Cyn Rd. which is Hwy 192.  Do not turn right on Coyote Rd. 
Turn right on Stanwood Dr.  Turn left on Conejo Rd.  We are the first driveway on the right.  Our mailbox without the post is sitting on the ground.  Park on Conejo Rd. by the mailbox if you can.  There also may be a few spaces half way up the driveway off to the right.
