CIR Native Plant Nursery (map)

Do you have a passion for plants and a desire to make a lasting difference for California's native habitats? We'd love to have you join our Core Nursery Volunteer team at CIR! Core Nursery Volunteers play a truly special role in our work. You'll receive hands-on, specialized training and learn all aspects of growing native plants — from seed propagation and soil prep to watering, transplanting, and plant care. This is a wonderful opportunity to deepen your knowledge of native plants while directly supporting restoration efforts in our community.
