Join us on Saturday June 20 from 8:30am-12:30pm at Rancho Cañada del Oro to help with an old fence line removal. This is a multi-day project series that supports ongoing restoration efforts and helps improve habitat connectivity across the landscape.
This is a unique opportunity to hike along a hillside area of the preserve that is not yet open to the public. In the near future this area will be open to the public as part of the current regional trail planning project. Come work in a beautiful setting that is a meaningful way to spend time outdoors, connect with the land, and see the direct impact of your team’s efforts as sections of fence are removed
We provide clean gloves, tools, and project-related supplies for the day, as well as training for needed to perform the project. We require that volunteers wear close-toed shoes, long sleeved and pants, as well as bring their own sun-protection, snacks and water. If you have gloves from previous events then please bring them, otherwise new gloves will be provided on-site. Work will involve stooping, kneeling, walking on uneven/rocky terrain and using hand tools.
Please note that youth are allowed to participate with the supervision and accompaniment of an adult guardian.
If you plan to bring a guest (youth or adult) please have them create a volunteer portal account, submit release of liability (and parental permission form, if they are a youth) and sign up for the opportunity through the portal.
If you have any question, please contact Jeanette Mayorga jmayorga@openspaceauthority.org
