While the timing is inspired by Mother’s Day, this event is for everyone who wants to spend time outdoors!During this community volunteer workday, we will be working together to expand our habitat restoration areas. It's weeding season at Arastradero and we will work together to remove invasive W**d species from our restoration areas as well as care for our newly planted native plants.Restoration activities include weeding using hand tools and sheet mulching. Activities may involve lifting, bending, and walking on flat and uneven terrain.Pearson-Arastradero Preserve has expansive oak woodlands and grasslands with beautiful trees and wildflowers and is home to an abundance of wildlife, including deer, bobcats, coyotes, and many species of birds and insects. The work you do will support the health of the preserve's ecosystems!Visit Grassroots Ecology’s Pearson-Arastradero Preserve webpage to learn more about the ecosystem and accessibility considerations.Parking: 1530 Arastradero Road, Palo Alto.
