Join Grassroots Ecology and Climate Resilient Communities at Ravenswood Open Space Preserve for a morning of habitat restoration, no prior experience required! We will be kicking off the start of this project with our first planting session establishing native plants. Volunteers can expect to work in a flat area, this includes having their backs bent over for long periods and use of gardening tools. Our time together will end with a guided plant walk and a short breathing exercise to help ground us to this space. Note, this location is right next to Cooley Landing and we will be meeting and ending our day by the Cooley Landing Education Center.

Visit Grassroots Ecology's Ravenswood page to learn more about the ecosystem and accessibility considerations.

Waivers/Registration: All volunteers attending the workday must be registered individually and have approved the online waiver through this Eventbrite page. Youth under 18 must have their legal guardian approve the waiver on their behalf. Volunteers age 12 and under require an accompanying adult.

Meeting Space: We will meet at the Cooley Landing Education Center. Bathrooms, cell service, wifi, and water fountains are all accessible.

Grassroots Ecology encourages people from all identities and backgrounds to participate in our programs. Many of our programs are outdoors and involve moving and working in a variety of landscapes. If you have accessibility concerns (e.g. allergies, limited mobility, learning differences), our projects are flexible and we are happy to work with you. Please reach out to the workday facilitator so we can prepare for your participation.

Comenzaremos este nuevo proyecto con nuestro primer session de plantando plantas nativas en los humedales de Ravenswood. Los voluntarios pueden anticipar trabajar en tierra plana, esto incluye tener la espalda doblada por periodos largos y usar herramientas de jardinería.
