Join Friends of the Dunes and partners as we strike a blow for biodiversity! The 48th Annual Lupine Bash is taking place at the Ma-le’l Dunes Cooperative Management Area on Saturday, February 28 from 10:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m. Volunteers are needed to join the annual tradition of removing non-native, invasive yellow bush lupine from coastal dune habitats manually before these plants get a chance to produce seeds. Gloves, tools, and training will be provided, as well as snacks and coffee! Please wear closed-toed shoes and bring your own mug for coffee or tea. Guests are welcome to bring their own tools (no power tools please), but are responsible for their safety and wear and tear on the items. RSVPs are not required unless you are bringing a large group. We will meet at the Ma-le’l Dunes North parking lot, then briefly hike to the Bureau of Land Management’s Ma-le’l Dunes South for lupine bashing. Carpooling is highly encouraged.
Meet at the Ma-le’l Dunes North Parking Lot, 1 Young Lane, Arcata, CA 95521. Carpooling is highly encouraged.
Want to start your morning with a little hike? Arrive early and park at Ma-le’l South (Vera Linda Ln, Arcata, CA 95521) and walk the road to the meeting area. It is approximately a 0.7 mile scenic walk to Ma-le’l North. Carpooling is highly encouraged.
