About the Weed Warriors
Following a model used successfully at the Morcom Rose Garden, an ad hoc group of citizens have organized themselves to be trained by Public Works staff to perform assigned tasks such as mulching, weeding, deadheading flowers and general cleanup. Oakland Public Works‘ parks maintenance staff, led by Crew Leader Juan Cana and supervised by Parks Supervisor Victoria “Tora” Rocha, directs and supports our work.
