River Restoration Event at Big Rock Preserve
October 19, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join One Tree Planted and the Ventura Land Trust in planting trees within the Big Rock Preserve!
Help us in our ongoing post-Thomas Fire restoration at the Big Rock Preserve.
The fire killed 85% of the 1,000 trees that we had planted and invasive species have been persistently trying to fill in the gaps. With the help of our wonderful community volunteers we aim to remove invasive species, plant native trees and shrubs, and restore this wildlife habitat. Come join us in this important restoration effort!
River Restoration events are a part of VLT’s ongoing efforts to bring the Ventura River back to its natural state and make it more welcoming to human and wildlife visitors alike. Please wear pants, long sleeves, closed-toe shoes, and don’t forget sunscreen and water. We’ll provide the tools, you provide the enthusiasm!
Meet VLT staff at 9 a.m. next to the Main St. Bridge along the bike path near downtown Ventura (at Main St. & Peking Streets). We will gather next to the Land Trust’s beautiful informational kiosk. Please wear pants, long sleeves, closed-toe shoes, and don’t forget sunscreen and water!
Please note: River restoration volunteers should be at least 16 years old. Due to the nature of tools used and bio-hazardous materials occasionally found in the river estuary, we do not encourage young children to participate in these events. Please see our Events Page for more family-friendly outings!
Be sure to RSVP!
