This is a unique and rare opportunity to take a day trip to Eastern Santa Cruz Island and contribute to an important project to revegetate several acres of habitat. We will focus on removing invasive iceplant near the lookout at Cavern Point in preparation for spreading native seeds in the area this fall. While the project relies on natural rainfall to germinate the seeds, it is essential to first eliminate the invasive iceplant to ensure the project's success.
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.
We're excited to invite you to a special volunteer day at Hedrick Ranch Nature Area (HRNA) hosted by our partner, Friends of the Santa Clara River. Please mark your calendars and join us for a day of community and conservation. Along with supporting the restoration of the Santa Clara River, you can learn more about native riparian wildlife in this area. Our lead for restoration, Holly Wright, will guide the day's activities. These events are held on the first Sunday of every month, offering regular opportunities to get involved.
