Calling all State Park Volunteers

Hello, CA State Parks Volunteers!

Parks Environmental Scientists Amy and Jesse have asked if we can assist with more greenhouse work for fall plantings at Ft. Ord Dunes SP and Garrapata SP.

If you are available, we’d love your help at our third Asilomar Greenhouse Volunteer Day of the summer. For folks who haven’t been before, the work involves washing plant cells (pots), mixing soil, filling cells with soil, and sowing seeds. We’ll grow these plants out in the greenhouse, then plant them at restoration sites in the fall.

See below for details.

Asilomar Greenhouse Day #3

When: Monday, August 15th (9am-1pm)

Location: Asilomar Greenhouse. (Click link for map)

What: ​Cleaning cells, mixing soil, and sowing seeds to support restoration efforts at Garrapata SP and Fort Ord Dunes SP.

RSVP: Samuel.Winter@parks.ca.gov

Tools, training, coffee, pastries, and gloves provided. Drop in for as long as you’re able to!

Thank you for your help,

Sam
