Training, tools, refreshments, camaraderie and beautiful scenery are provided. All ages welcome! Bring a water bottle, sturdy shoes, and sun protection.
We’re working hard to clear space in our Newport Valley restoration site in preparation for the planting season coming soon. If you haven’t joined us at the last few events, we’ve made the leap to the north side of Newport Valley and have been busy removing invasive sweet fennel, bristly ox-tongue, mustard, tocalote, Spanish sunflower, and even a little pampas grass. We’ll need all the help we can get over the next few months. I hope you’ll join us!
Restoration sites vary around the Upper Newport Bay. Please contact Matt Yurko for site location and directions or to bring a group of 10 or more, at myurko@coastal.ca.gov or call (949) 640-0286.
This ROOTS habitat restoration event is sponsored by the California Coastal Commission. | |
