Volunteers Wanted In Los Gatos To Help Preserve Wetland Habitat

LOS GATOS, CA — Grassroots Ecology, a Palo Alto-based environmental organization, is hosting a volunteer event Friday at Bear Creek Redwoods Preserve in Los Gatos.

The task involves removing French Broom, a weedy shrub and invasive species, using tools. This would help restore the rare wetland habitat, and volunteers will also learn about the preserve’s unique wetland ecosystem.

Volunteers should be able to walk through hilly and wooded terrain, according to the event page. The task is “somewhat physically demanding.”

The volunteer event takes place from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Click here for more information and to sign up.
