This Thursday, August 17, learn about ecological restoration techniques and help OC Parks Volunteers in restoring native areas in beautiful Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park.
Local wildlife needs native habitat to survive, and you can help restore native areas. Learn about identifying and controlling non-native plants, active and passive restoration techniques, and how our local birds, insects, and animals flourish with the right habitat.
The restoration event is from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and begins at the Borrego Parking Area at Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park. Click here to register.
