SAN LORENZO RIVER ESTUARY PROJECT helps you celebrate SPRING on Saturday, March 21st between 9 am-11 am
 
HOW?
  • By enjoying SPRING outdoors with other volunteers
  • Planting native vegetation
  • Creating growth margins around established natives
  • Cutting down invasive saplings
  • Trim native bushes
 
WHEN?
Saturday, March 21st between 9 am-11 am
 
Where?
W. levee by Riverside Ave. bridge @ 3rd St. next to the pump station

We suggest that you bring your gloves, sturdy shoes, hat, water for yourself & some extra water for the native plants.

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, which is sponsored by the Sierra Club, Santa Cruz County Group, and supported by the City of Santa Cruz Park & Rec. Dept.
 
On behalf of the SLV Native Habitat Restoration Program, we thank you for joining us!
