to include pathways cleanup & cheetahs

The public is encouraged to participate in Los Altos Hills’ pathways-cleanup project scheduled in honor of Earth Day 8 a.m. Saturday. Volunteers will meet at town hall where Los Altos Hills committee members will equip them with the essentials: instructions, safety vests, trash bags, water bottles, sunscreen and maps for specific routes.

Participants will fan out to scour the trails, retrieve litter and report back to town hall at 2 p.m.

On Sunday, Rob Dicely of Leopards, Etc., a conservationist, will showcase his exotic wildcats, 1:30-2:15 p.m. and 3-3:45 p.m.

More than 20 local conservation and wildlife groups, including representatives from all Los Altos Hills committees, will be on hand to answer questions. No dogs may attend.

Friday, Bullis Charter School students are scheduled to participate in their own cleanup effort on the pathway routes. The children, led by parent volunteers and teachers, will split into groups and attempt to cover roughly 22 miles, said chairman of the pathways committee and Los Altos Hills resident Chris Vargas.

The pathways are “one of the most treasured features of the town,” Vargas said. “They’re valuable and we need to protect them.”

Los Altos Hills Town Hall is located at 25890 W. Fremont Road.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

We’ve recently covered the passing of two of this community’s most involved and committed volunteers, Lee Lynch and Billy Russell. They represented an era when people helped out, not so they could get their name on a building, but because it was simply the right thing to do.

There’s a new generation of volunteers hard at work right now in this community who are carrying on their legacy. The level of involvement in the recent Los Altos Relay For Life event bears this out.
