Anacapa Restoration Project
|
To ensure the recovery of Anacapa island's native vegetation, Channel Islands National Park is implementing a restoration project that will remove the iceplant from the island and replace it with a variety of native plants. Park staff, cooperators, and volunteers are removing iceplant and replanting cleared areas with native plants grown from island-collected seed. The park plans on completing this restoration work by 2016— the Centennial of the National Park Service. To meet this goal volunteers will be critical to the success of this effort. We are recruiting community groups, schools, and individuals to assist with removing the non-native iceplant and replacing it with native plants. To sign up for a trip, please contact the specific person listed for each trip below.
