I spoke to Tom at SJ yesterday and he wanted me to pass on that they are starting to collect palm fronds for the upcoming blind brush-up days (should be late August and Late September - exact dates to still be determined). He says anyone who is trimming palm trees and wants to bring them around to San Jacinto to get rid of them to give him a call at 951-236-3040 and he'll make arrangements for someone to be there so you can drop them off. He also wanted me to remind people that they DO NOT want the fronds that have the thorns on them. Don't bring the wader-rippers but other, non-thorny palm fronds are welcome.
