Volunteers Needed! Help Restore Stone Canyon Creek

Please join the Santa Monica Baykeeper and the UCLA Institute of the Environment to help restore the only remaining section of unburied creek on the UCLA campus

Saturday, November 14, 2009
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM
Stone Canyon Creek
Behind UCLA Anderson School

 

The once mighty Stone Canyon Creek was a dominant feature of the UCLA campus in the past. Over the years, as the campus expanded, the creek was forced underground and now only this small segment behind the Anderson School of Management remains. The vegetation that persists at the creek site is dominated by invasive vegetation which is choking out the few remaining native plant species.

Help us eliminate this infestation of invasive vegetation and replant the area with native vegetation. This is real work that will really benefit the environment. The newly established vegetation will serve as habitat to birds and other wildlife on campus.

Santa Monica Baykeeper will provide all the tools and training but we need your muscle! Join us any time between 10am and 1pm. We will meet behind the Andersen School at Charles Young Drive and Westwood Plaza (off Sunset Blvd. Parking lot 4).

Creek restorations are scheduled for the following days:

Sunday, September 20, 2009
