Arroyo
Hondo Preserve
Volunteers are needed to help us make the trails
safe and restore native habitat along the creek corridor. The Land
Trust depends heavily on volunteers, and a strong tradition of community
involvement is already thriving at the Preserve. We welcome you
to join us!
Volunteers are needed
for:
|
Habitat Restoration:
In February 2002, a team of volunteers assembled to
restore the native habitats found in the canyon. Led by habitat
restoration specialists Darlene Chirman and Greg Archbald,
volunteers pitch in on the first Sunday of the month to pull
out and chop down invasive non-native weeds, plant native
plants and restore the sensitive habitats of the canyon. Volunteers
have cleared substantial patches of onion weed, tocolote,
star thistle, castor bean and veldt grass.

With a grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
the Land Trust has contracted with professionals to remove some
non-native trees and large patches of the highly invasive Cape ivy.
Habitat Restoration
Work Days are held on the 1st Sunday of the month from 9:00 am to
12:30 pm.

Trail Maintenance:
We’re letting most of the ranch roads naturally
convert to hiking trails, and hope to create a new loop trail
through the backcountry. We then intend to connect these trails
with the extensive trail system in the Los Padres National
Forest.
Trail Work Days
are held on the 3rd Sunday of the month from 9:00 am to 12:30
pm.
