The Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains needs your help to care for the recently fire impacted oak trees of Trippet Ranch in Topanga State Park.
During this event volunteers will help the RCDSMM care for previously planted oaks by watering, weeding, and mulching trees as well as potentially planting new acorns to replace those trees that may have died. Volunteers will also collect meaningful data to aid in an ongoing reforestation project the RCDSMM has been conducting since 2018. Please wear clothes you are willing to get dirty as well as durable shoes. Be sure to bring a sun hat, layers and drinking water.
We will be meeting in the parking lot of Trippet Ranch located at 20829 Entrada Road, Topanga, CA 90290. Carpooling to this event is encouraged as parking is limited!
Be aware during this event we will be asking volunteers to hike roughly 0.5-2 miles to access planting sites and the terrain is uneven and may require off-trail trekking.
We look forward to your help in our efforts to reforest and heal the wildlands of the Santa Monica Mountains in the wake of the Palisades Fire.
