San Lorenzo River ESTUARY RESTORATION PROJECT cures the Media Blues on Saturday, August 21th, 9:00 am–11:00 am


Come when you like & stay as long as you like. Bring your children, invite your friends, neighbors & share caring for the EARTH.

WHY?

Because your hands will enjoy bettering the river wildlife while schmoozing with great people! You will also learn to identify native & non-native plants while gaining an understanding of why a strong habitat fosters vibrant wildlife.

WHERE?

San Lorenzo Blvd. across from Bixby St/

WHAT work to expect?

  • Cut down/remove weeds along the rock wall at the Ocean/San Lorenzo Blvd. T-intersection
  • Cut down weeds around Coyote bush
  • Mark Coyote bush growth margins w/ new soil
  • We suggest that you bring your gloves, hat, water & wear sturdy shoes.

WHAT is the SAN LORENZO RIVER ESTUARY PROJECT?

  • We are volunteers, who enjoy coming together to work on the ongoing restoration project.  
  • Our efforts are rewarded by an increase of butterfly species, watching the birds find easy shelter in cleared bushes & supplying more food sources with previously planted natives.
  • The Project was started in 2017 by the Valley Women’s Club, is sponsored by the Sierra Club, Santa Cruz County Group, and supported by the City of Santa Cruz Park & Rec. Dept.
Looking forward to meeting you!
