Volunteer at our Native Plant Nursery

The CIR Nursery (map)

Channel Islands Restoration grows thousands of native plants for restoration projects, and we are taking the big step of moving to a new location that can accommodate our expanded needs. We have rented a 21,000-square-foot greenhouse space in Goleta, and it’s a real fixer-upper! We need your help getting things ready. This will be a rewarding volunteer project. Please come out and support our new nursery space in Goleta.

Channel Islands Restoration is organizing a tabling event for Earth Day in Ventura. We’re looking for outgoing volunteers to help spread the word about all the great work Channel Islands Restoration is accomplishing. We will organize activities for the kids, sell merchandise, and sign up new volunteers. The shifts will be around 2.5 hours long. It will be a fun event with a chance to meet like-minded people. If you’re interested, please get in touch with us by email at volunteer@cirweb.org or call 805.448.6203 and let us know which day you’d like to volunteer.

The Santa Clara River Preserve spans almost two miles of this amazing waterway and encompasses nearly 1,000 acres of upland habitat and riverbed. There are few locations on the Santa Clara River that are accessible to the public. Now with the opening of this preserve, TNC has provided a beautiful space for outdoor education, community gatherings, wildlife viewing, and hiking. On the preserve, we want to give everyone a chance to connect with the dynamic Santa Clara River.
