Join the Chaparral Lands Conservancy for our second season of volunteer work events!
Typical restoration activities installing fencing, posting signs, re-contouring vernal pools, clearing invasive vegetation, and planting native vegetation. The Conservancy works to prorecr and restore oases of endangered chaparral habitat within city limits that are host to endangered and sensitive species. Locations include Carmel Mountain Preserve, Torrey Pines State Reserve, Rose Canyon, and Proctor Valley.
We start the day with an hour-long nature walk led by director David Hogan, followed by an hour and a half to two hours of habitat management activities.
Please get in touch via email to be notified of upcoming events. There are usually two events a month on a Saturday or Sunday.
If you are volunteering as a group, events can be scheduled around your availability (including weekdays).
We hope to see you in the field!

Mission Statement
The mission of The Chaparral Lands Conservancy is to protect shrubland ecosystems as an integral and beautiful feature of California’s natural landscape through land preservation and stewardship.
Description
The Chaparral Lands Conservancy was founded to fill several empty niches in the field of natural land management in California. The Conservancy is specifically focused on the special management needs of wildlife and plants dependent on California’s unique chaparral biome and interdependent ecosystems.
The Conservancy develops habitat restoration and enhancement projects to benefit the rarest of the rare habitats and species - endangered species in critical need of direct intervention to prevent extinction and assist with recovery. The Conservancy works to protect any rare shrubland region vegetation or critically endangered species in need of assistance irrespective of their charismatic appeal - Seemingly obscure and sometimes homely plants and animals are the glue that binds California’s web of life. The Conservancy is also dedicated to research to improve our knowledge of the conservation needs of target habitats and species and is committed to improving the public’s understanding of the incredible nature and diversity of life of shrublands in their own backyards.
Please contact Dipika Kadaba at dkadaba@chaparralconservancy.org to schedule group volunteer events or for any questions. You can learn more about our typical activities in the link under Opportunities.
