Volunteer Work Party with SB Botanic Garden on November 9

Join us and partners Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and Channel Islands Restoration at a volunteer work party at our one-acre native plant garden in Elings Park. Native species planted last spring have gotten a foothold — but invasive weeds are still growing at the site. The upcoming work parties focus primarily on weeding with tools, gloves, guidance, and snacks provided. Just show up to join a group of enthusiastic weeders!

This upcoming work party is held on Saturday, November 9. More to come after the New Year. Shifts are available from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m.  Sign up at https://bit.ly/3ZCislU.

The Elings Park Transformation Project is overseen by Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and concentrates on the power of California’s native plants to create a healthy ecosystem. Scientific experiments will compare the abundance, diversity, and composition of plant and animal life both before and after the transformation.
