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. Mark your calendars for Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, at 9:00 am 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.

Beginning in the fall of 2023 and running for three years, this restoration project concentrates on California-native plants within a one-acre plot and compares the abundance, diversity, and composition of plant and animal life before and after the transformation. To achieve this work, we’re seeking volunteers to help clear invasive plant species, prepare the site for plantings, plant our projected 1,400 plants, and monitor the progress along the way through varied scientific methods.

Join Channel Islands Restoration for a rewarding day of restoring and preserving one of Santa Barbara's most beautiful natural spaces. This is your chance to directly impact your local environment while connecting with fellow nature enthusiasts and environmental volunteers.

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.

Starr Ranch is a 4000 acre Audubon preserve in southeast Orange County.  Driving down the Ranch’s oak lined country road is like going back through time. The original Ranch buildings, built in the 1930s by previous owners Eugene and Applin Starr, now serve as staff residences and spaces for meetings and education programs. The Ranch protects and restores the rare native landscapes of Southern California and is truly a wild land jewel in South Orange County.
