Habitat Stewardship with Ballona Wetlands Land Trust every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 9am, to 11am in Area A - Ballona Wetlands Ecological Reserve.
Our Mission is: The Ballona Wetlands Land Trust is a non-profit community organization dedicated to the acquisition, restoration and preservation of the entire Ballona Wetlands ecosystem.
Upcoming Dates: January 24th, February 14th
Volunteer Positions: Ballona is the only remaining coastal wetlands in Los Angeles County and one of the most valuable habitats for rare and endangered species in Southern California. Invasive weeds can crowd out native vegetation and decrease habitat value. By participating in this stewardship event, you will be directly benefiting wildlife by making more room for native wetland vegetation. In addition, community stewardship efforts raise awareness about the wetlands and their unique value.
Expectations/Requirements: Every Volunteer will receive a safety briefing and direction on what weeds we will be pulling that day. Staff of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife as well as staff and volunteers with Ballona Wetlands Land Trust will be present to help answer any questions.
- Volunteers must be age 18 or over OR be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
- Currently, the waivers that CA Fish and Wildlife use for this event include a citizenship question. However, please let us know if you would like to participate but do not wish to answer the question and we will work with them to accommodate you.
- Participants should be in reasonably good health and be able to pace themselves to avoid fatigue.
- Please bring your own water bottle, close-toed shoes, and sun protection.
- Gloves and other equipment will be provided onsite.
