Description
Come help the National Park Service and the Watershed Stewards Program restore riparian habitat for salmon by planting native oak, willows, and more!
We will be working to revitalize ranch land where grazing has been removed in order to protect riparian habitat. Coho salmon, steelhead trout, and Chinook salmon are all residents of nearby Lagunitas Creek. By revegetating stream banks we will be controlling erosion and creating new habitat for these local fish populations.
Tools, gloves, and safety gear will be provided. Light refreshments will be available. This is a rain or shine event, so please dress accordingly.
Please bring a mask, a refillable water bottle, lunch, wear closed toed shoes and clothes appropriate for working outdoors (long pants, rain gear and/or sun protection). No experience is necessary to join in and volunteers of all ages are welcome!
Meet at 1 Bear Valley Road at Red Barn parking lot at 10am. We will then carpool as a group to the project site.
Directions to the Bear Valley Visitor Center. Take the first left off of the Bear Valley Visitor Center Access Road onto the gravel driveway to the Red Barn parking lot.
Please contact Tara Blake by email to RSVP, for more information, and with any questions.
Additional details will be provided via email to respondents.
WSP will adhere to all CDPH COVID-19 guidelines during any in-person restoration events.
