Support the restoration progress at California Woods Nature Preserve 

Join our team for one date or all of them. We will protect our beautiful native forest from invasive plants.  From late Fall through Winter and early Spring we'll cut and stack bush honeysuckle and other woody invasives.  In Spring we'll pull and bag garlic mustard.   In late Summer and early Fall we’ll pull and bag Japanese stilt grass and Japanese chaff flower.  And other habitat restoration projects.  This will usually be off trail in wooded, hilly terrain.
