This is a volunteer group working to restore native habitat in the State Parks in Santa Cruz County. The program provides an opportunity for people to learn about the natural systems that surround them while helping to restore special and wild places. No prior work experience is necessary, just show up at the parks. They welcome individual volunteers of all ages, as well as special group projects. Many species of birds are experiencing population declines largely due to habitat loss and degradation.
Volunteers conduct bird and vegetation surveys along streams throughout the Central Coast.
A training workshop will be held on April 21, 2001. For more information, visit our web site . The Coastal Watershed Council seeks new volunteers to help monitor creeks in Santa Cruz County. If you are interested in learning about water quality, physical creek surveys, and flow monitoring, please contact us. We also conduct biological monitoring of aquatic insects and bird species that use riparian habitats.
