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.

Help support our nursery’s growth and contribute to the active restoration of local ecosystems on our current projects. Our greenhouse nursery is opening its doors to volunteers of all ages and skill levels, offering a unique opportunity to learn and grow with us. Discover the art of nursery management and gain hands-on experience in:

  • Native Plant Propagation

  • Building a nursery from scratch

  • Soil composition

  • Irrigation
