Outdoor Volunteer Opportunity

Dear California native plant and cultural history enthusiasts,

On Saturday, March 10th we will be working hard to clear weeds and non-native shrubs around the stations in the “Local Indian Uses of Plants” self-guided trail at Leona Canyon Regional Preserve. It would be wonderful to have you join us. Without the help of wonderful volunteers, non-native plants would take over many of the stations, even if this year continues to be dry. Please see below for more information, and please pass on this information to anyone who might also be interested.
