Trees have been encroaching on the Great Plains, shrinking grazing acres and contributing to an increase in wildfires. But private landowners are working to restore grasslands with controlled burns.

Celebrate Earth Day by joining us in our habitat restoration project in San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve. Your help is needed as we restore 38 acres of coastal sage scrub habitat, home to a federally endangered bird, the California Gnatcatcher. Get ready for hands-on fun in the soil! You can help restoration team members remove invasive species. That will help the newly planted seedlings local to the area, including California buckwheat, spiny redberry, bush monkeyflower, and indigenous grasses that provide nectar, pollen, and seeds for hungry butterflies, insects, birds, and other animals. Meet-up location shared prior to the event. Registration required.
