Opportunity Details

2019 Estuary Restoration at San Lorenzo River

Join us at a volunteer service event in partnership with the City of Santa Cruz on March 9, 2019 from 9AM-1PM at Mike Fox Park!  We will be restoring the stream banks along the San Lorenzo River to improve habitat for salmon and birds. We would love for you and your group of volunteers to join us at this event!

Volunteers will: 1) remove weed suppression carpet (to improve soil quality and increase vegetation cover) (2) remove invasive plants and weeds (3) spread mulch and (4) plant native plants. We will also be teaching about fish and other animals that live in the river and having a great day in the nature of downtown Santa Cruz! All ages are welcome.

Historically, the San Lorenzo River has been home to both coho salmon and steelhead trout populations. However, as an urban stream it has also seen significant land-use change that has highly impacted its function to support these endangered species. We will be planting natives and reinforcing stream banks to mitigate erosion at Mike Park, which will improve water quality in the San Lorenzo.

Please bring: closed toed shoes, gardening gloves, water in a reusable bottle, and snacks! We'll be there rain or shine.
