LO SF Bay Area | Plant Nursery Day

Save the Bay is a Bay Area environmental non-profit working to protect and restore the San Francisco Bay for people and wildlife. One of the ways they strive to meet their mission is through community based stewardship led by their Habitat Restoration Team. The Native Plant Nursery at the Palo Alto Baylands Preserve grows up to 20,000 plants per year that will eventually be planted out to one of our several restoration sites along the shoreline of the Bay. In volunteering with the Native Plant Nursery you’ll have the opportunity to connect with the diversity of plants and people that make the Bay Area so special.

We encourage folks with no prior experience in habitat restoration to volunteer with us and welcome any feedback to improve accessibility to our programs. Nursery volunteer tasks can include anything from seed cleaning to transplanting. We ask volunteers to bring water bottles, snacks, wear long pants and closed toe shoes that they feel comfortable getting dirty. The indoor space in the nursery is not insulated so we asks folks to dress for the weather. All tools and guidance will be provided by Save the Bay staff. We look forward to learning and growing together in community with you!
