Restore Native Habitat in the Santa Monica Mountains

Restore Native Habitat in the Santa Monica Mountains is hosted in partnership with California Climate Action Corps, a program of California Volunteers, Office of the Governor.
Join us for a beautiful morning of planting to promote wildlife resilience in the Newbury Park area.
Who: L.A. Works is teaming up with the National Park Service and Santa Monica Mountains Foundation for this event. The National Park Service preserves the natural and cultural resources and values of the National Park System for the enjoyment, education, and inspiration of this and future generations. As a fundraising and educational arm of NPS, the Santa Monica Mountains Foundation works to protect and encourage appreciation and understanding of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. 
Why: Your volunteer efforts contribute to the ongoing Rewilding California Project, which aims to plant 100,000 native plants in 5 key wildfire-affected areas. At this event, we will be making important progress towards this goal by planting 2,500 native California plants, ensuring that the distinctly Californian flora and fauna of the Santa Monica Mountains are resilient to climate change and preserved for generations to come.
