Please visit the new page to apply.
Our last such event of the year, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) on Fort Ord National Monument(FONM) is partnering with the Return of the Natives (RON) to put the finishing touches on a habitat restoration site using native plants. This Saturday, February 24th, we will be serenaded by live music while planting native plants on the beautiful FONM and volunteers are encouraged to help us plant 750 native plants at a coastal grassland habitat restoration site in the Fort Ord Backcountry.
To join us, follow the BLM Special Event signs from either Reservation Rd. at Imjin Parkway or Lightfighter Drive off Hwy 1. These signs will guide you to 8th Ave./Gigling Gate from where you will be escorted at 10am through the gate to the project site. Along the way, you will be fascinated and amazed at the beautiful and ever-changing landscape vistas.
Wear gardening type clothing and sturdy shoes.
All refreshments, gloves, and supplies provided.
