Join our Dune Ecosystem Restoration Team (DERT) in removing non-native, invasive plants from our coastal dunes environments in order to make room for more natural diversity. To learn more about common invasive plants in the dunes, visit our Science & Nature page.
DERT Workdays take place twice a month:
- Humboldt Coastal Nature Center, Every 2nd Saturday of the month from 10 am to 1 pm
- BLM's Ma-le'l Dunes South, Every 3rd Sunday of the month from 10 am to 1 pm
Our goal is to promote native diversity while engaging community members in the stewardship of coastal environments through the hand removal of invasive plants. No prior knowledge is required, snacks and training in plant identification and removal practices will be provided. Please wear a mask, closed-toed shoes, and bring water. COVID-19 vaccinations are required.
