Walnut Creek Native Planting Event

Join The Restoration Trust, Friends of the Creeks, and the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District for a CA native planting event in Walnut Creek! We will be planting native plant plugs along a portion of Walnut Creek near Civic Park. Revegetating the creek with native plants makes it more difficult for non-native invasive plants to establish themselves, and it provides habitat and food for wildlife.

For this event, we are limiting registration to 30 volunteers, so sign up ASAP. We hope you'll join us!
