Pacific Grove says crews will work in George Washington Park during September to clear footpaths, reduce organic debris and address invasive plants, poison oak and wildfire fuel loads.
The city warns that some trails will close temporarily while crews and equipment are operating; it has not yet published a trail-by-trail closure schedule.
What readers need to know
The City of Pacific Grove announced that maintenance work will begin in George Washington Park during September. The city says crews will clear footpaths, reduce accumulated organic debris and focus on invasive plants, poison oak and wildfire fuel loads.
Residents may encounter crews and equipment, and some trails will be temporarily closed while the work is underway. The August 21 notice does not identify which trails will close or give day-by-day closure times, so MyPG.news is not inferring a closure map or full-park shutdown. Visitors should follow posted signs and avoid active work areas.
The work follows the city's draft George Washington Park Forest Management Plan and earlier City Council direction allowing time-sensitive seasonal work to move forward while plan revisions continue. The city lists Public Works at (831) 648-5722 for questions.
