May 30 | 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM | Cottonwood Meadow, Stanislaus National Forest

One day after our beaver dam work, we're back at Cottonwood Meadow — this time pulling invasive plants and giving native species room to reclaim their ground.

Invasive plants are one of the quieter threats to meadow health. They outcompete native grasses and wildflowers, disrupt soil function, and degrade the habitat that birds, pollinators, and wildlife depend on. Removing them is painstaking, hands-on work — and it makes a real difference.

If you were at the May 29 event, come back and keep the momentum going. If this is your first time joining us, welcome — we'd love to have you. No restoration experience needed. We'll provide all the tools and instruction you need to be safe and successful.

Come prepared for a full day outdoors in uneven terrain: sturdy footwear, layers, sun protection, and plenty of water.

Space is limited. Register below to secure your spot — exact location details will be sent once you're signed up.
