This workday happens every third Saturday of the month and more often during the winter! Sign up on Meetup or drop in when you can.
Help restore and monitor healthy habitat in the Inner Sunset District for the rare Coastal Green Hairstreak butterfly. Folks who join these workdays create and expand the ecosystem for this little green gem of a pollinator. Monitoring habitat restoration sites increases our biodiversity data to inform adaptive habitat management in a changing climate.
We emphasize biodiverse and ecologically relevant plants, and you will learn about many of our important native plant species. Be ready for activities like weeding, planting, seed collecting, pruning, and other land maintenance tasks.
We often work in light rain, but heavy rain cancels. Please dress in long pants, closed-toe shoes, and layers - clothes that might get a little dirty! Bring your own water bottle and sun protection.
