Join us for a fun and safe morning of native plant restoration in our unique Potrero Creek in Newbury Park. The creek is home to a young native oak woodland, along with milkweed visited by monarch butterflies and various other native plants used by dozens of local birds, insects and other wildlife. Work will consist of planting hundreds of live plants grown from locally collected seed and watering hundreds of oak trees along the creek. This activity is appropriate for ages 5 and up. Masks will be required when working within 6ft of others.
The event will run from 9am - 12 noon.
Please bring water, sunscreen and a sun hat. Wear hiking attire, closed toe shoes and pants and long-sleeved shirt are recommended. Gloves and tools will be provided.
