Doom the Broom!
On March 23rd, Zoe Belzpalko organized her neighbors on Ben Way in the Central Sonoma Coast Firewise Community (CSCFC) to spend a few hours pulling french broom from the side of the road and into the source point of the broom on a property. Earlier, on February 26, 2025, CSCFC hosted a viewing of Jason Mills’ Fire Safe Sonoma Speaker Series recording of his talk on broom and invasive species. After watching the recording a couple times, Zoe went to work. Zoe, from France, appropriately provided French music to accompany the french broom work.
As a result, one can’t see any broom along Ben Way, and The Ben Way Neighbors plan to do maintenance to keep it out.
Thank you Fire Safe Sonoma for making so many great recordings of these presentations!
