This meadow is a good example of an ephemeral wetland that has yerba mansa as a dominant species\, and this is somewhat uncommon.\nThis project aims to restore native habitat\, and to improve habitat for bird roosting and nesting by introducing native plants that provide a variety of food sources. We will also improve the natural appearance of the wetlands.\nNative species for this project include species known to occur in and around wetland areas (yerba mansa\, mugwort\, spreading rush\, mule fat\, golden current\, deer grass\, giant wild rye) and common coastal sage scrub species (purple sage\, California buckwheat \, California sagebrush\, elderberry).\nPlease RSVP through: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/volunteer-opportunity-at-yerba-mansa-meadow-tickets-86287019799  \nWear hiking attire\, bring water/resuable water bottle\, sunscreen\, and a sun hat.\nThis event occurs on the first Saturday of the every month!\nFor more information\, contact:\nLei DeVera at National Park Service tel. 805-370-2300 x 3325\n\n\nDirections:\n \nMain entrance cross street is Via Goleta and Lynn Road\, Newbury Park\, CA\, 91320\nGPS Coordinates for Entrance (Via Goleta & Lynn Road): N 34.1569 W -118.9733\nMain Entrance: Ventura Fwy (101) to Lynn Rd exit.

SUMMARY:Santa Barbara Channel Keeper (SBCK) Stream Team
DESCRIPTION:Join Surfrider and SBCK as we visit stations throughout the Ventura River watershed\, collect water samples\, and do some hands-on field analysis. Ventura Stream Team sampling events take place quarterly\, usually on the first Saturday of the corresponding month\, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Pizza and soft drinks are served afterwards. We meet at the corner of Julian St. and West Main Street in Ventura (approximately 239 West Main St.\, for Google Maps). \nStream Team volunteers use portable meters to test in-stream parameters such as temperature\, dissolved oxygen\, pH\, turbidity\, and conductivity. In addition\, samples are collected that are later analyzed in the laboratory for bacteria and nutrients. Visual observations such as weather conditions\, algae coverage\, water clarity\, odors\, and trash are also recorded on standardized datasheets. \nStream Team data is used by government agencies\, environmental organizations\, and other watershed stakeholders to help protect the watershed and the species that depend on it.\nThe goals of SBCK’s Stream Team Program are to collect and disseminate data to measure the health of local streams; identify and abate specific sources of pollution to these streams; measure trends or changes resulting from pollution prevention efforts; and foster environmental stewardship in our community by providing a rewarding outdoor volunteer opportunity for local citizens. Our ultimate goal is cleaner\, healthier water and a more environmentally responsible citizenry that is actively engaged in addressing the pollution problems plaguing our waterways. \nNew volunteers are always welcome and training will be provided. We do not recommend this activity for children under the age of 6. Children between the ages of 6 and 14 should be accompanied by a guardian. If you would like to attend\, please RSVP via email to ben@sbck.org or call SBCK at (805) 563-3377 ext.5.
