Plant Propagation and Habitat
Restoration at Border Field State Park
The
Tijuana Estuary is offering a unique opportunity to learn about
riparian plant propagation while restoring wildlife habitat. In the
final weeks before bird-nesting season, we really need your help to
improve this area. Volunteers will remove invasive vegetation while
small groups take turns working with the Reserve's Stewardship Coordinator
to learn about major riparian plants, take cuttings, and plant cuttings
at the restoration site. The entire community is invited - community
groups and families are welcome.
All volunteers under 18 must either bring a parent with them OR bring
a parent-signed permission form, available by request. Volunteers must
work in long pants and boots or sturdy shoes and should wear sunscreen,
sunglasses, and hats. We will provide work gloves and tools.
Meet at Border Field State Park's entrance gate for a quick project
orientation, and then we'll pick up our tools and get to work. You don't
need any special skills to volunteer - only a willingness to learn,
work hard, and get your hands dirty!
Contact Volunteer Coordinator
Sarah Emerson at semerson@parks.ca.gov
or 619.575.3613 x330 for more information.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS: From the I-5 South, exit Coronado Avenue in Imperial

Road until you reach the park entrance. Park in the lot to your left.

conditions, this project will be cancelled if it is raining on Saturday
morning.
