Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Habitat Stewardship Project Monterey Bay

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 3 people are interested

Since 1994, Return of the Natives (R.O.N.) has worked with community volunteers and the Bureau of Land Management to restore and revitalize Fort Ord. In 2012, Fort Ord became a national monument due to its ecological and historical importance. We need volunteers to help R.O.N. and BLM restore more of this local precious natural resource.

Everyone is welcome! A great family activity that is FREE. Tools, water, and great snacks provided. Wear sturdy footwear and plenty of layers. Bring your community service forms to earn hours.

Please note that bikers and pedestrians will NOT be expecting car traffic - drive carefully, as trails sometimes cross the paved road.

Directions: Follow BLM Special Event signs from a) the intersection of Imjin Rd. and Reservation Rd. in Marina or b) the Lightfighter Dr. exit off of Highway 1 (main CSUMB exit). Site located 25 minute drive into Fort Ord from gate entrance.

*Volunteer groups of 10 or more please RSVP. *

*If under the age of 18 please have your parent or guardian sign a waiver prior to the event. Visit: https://csumb.edu/ron/service-event-calendar*

Mission Statement

Bringing Nature Closer to People and People Closer to Nature Through Hands-on Participation in Restoring Habitats

Description

Return of the Natives is an environmental education program dedicated to involving students (Kindergarten through University) and local communities in habitat restoration.

The Return of the Natives Restoration Education Project (RON) is the education and outreach branch of The Watershed Institute at California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB). Based at CSUMB, RON helps the university fulfill its mission by providing service opportunities for students and working closely with the Service Learning Institute.

RON's environmental goal is to protect the waters of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary through restoration of the waterways and the lands draining into the bay. RON's social goal is to bring people and nature together on our restoration and education projects in the watersheds of Monterey County from the Monterey Peninsula to North Monterey County and from Salinas to San Ardo.
