Oak Tree Planting at Ensen Community Park – Floodplain Restoration Project

Oak Tree Planting at Ensen Community Park

Join us for a hands-on conservation effort at Big Sur Land Trust’s Floodplain Restoration Project site in Ensen Community Park! Together, we’ll plant 30 native oak trees to help restore the local ecosystem and create a healthier environment for wildlife and the community.

Big Sur Land Trust and River Partners will lead the event, providing expert instruction and all necessary tools. They will pre-dig some holes to make the process easier. Volunteers can choose to work in pairs or small groups to dig the remaining holes, insert trees, and fill them with dirt and straw.

If time and interest allow, we’ll also plant smaller native plant plugs to further enhance the restoration area.

No prior experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm for nature and community!

What We'll Provide:

• All planting tools and guidance
• Pre-dug holes for easier planting
• Beverages and lunch for volunteers
• A chance to make a lasting impact on your local environment

What to Bring:

• Comfortable outdoor clothing (warm layers and sun protection)
• Closed-toe shoes
• A reusable water bottle
