Saturday, January 18th from 9AM to Noon

Volunteers are needed to plant over 1,000 native dune plants to increase biodiversity and protect the wintering habitat of the endangered Western snowy plover and other wildlife.

Where to Meet: Cleanup: At the southern end of the main parking lot (near Taco Bell). Planting: North on the beach along the bike path past the Crespi intersection.
Parking: Fee to park. However, when you check in, site captains provide a parking pass good for use during your participation in the cleanup. Should you stay beyond cleanup hours, fees apply.

Cleanup Areas: The parking lots, promenade and the beach.
Supplies: Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own buckets, reusable gloves and gardening tools.
