Join us to revisit and care for the restoration area at the Furtado Barn, located at Sierra Vista Open Space Preserve! On Oct. 12 we will be broadcasting native seed at our restoration area, initially established by plantings granted by the Xerces Society in support of monarch butterfly habitat.
We provide clean gloves, tools, and project-related supplies for the day, as well as training for planting seed. 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 (14 and older) 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.
Please contact Kat (khill@openspaceauthority.org) if you have any questions about this Land Stewards event.
