Habitat Restoration Project

1/20/2006

Volunteers needed!

On Sunday, January 22nd from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. the Irvine Ranch Land Reserve Trust, in cooperation with the City of Irvine, is hosting a habitat restoration project in Irvine’s Open Space Preserve South. The Trust needs volunteers to help with the planting of costal sage scrub in areas recently disturbed during trail repair.

No experience is necessary but work will involve physical labor including digging holes and lifting. Volunteers should be in good physical shape and free of neck, back, or shoulder injury. Lunch will be provided and a hike will be offered at the conclusion of the project. Please RSVP by emailing rgragnano@irlrtrust.org or call (714) 508-4760. Visit www.IrvineOpenSpace.org for more information on the City of Irvine's Open Space programs.
