Description

Join the Open Space Authority to remove invasive plants in and around the staging area at Máyyan 'Ooyákma-Coyote Ridge Open Space Preserve. Our efforts to remove invasives will help prevent species from spreading onto trails with sensitive serpentine habitat. 

  We provide clean gloves, tools, and project-related supplies for the day, as well as training for identifying and removing invasive plants. 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.
