Volunteer Outdoors at Redwood Grove in Los Altos

Help us restore a small redwood forest habitat! Volunteers should expect to work outside in rain or shine, use garden tools, mulch, and learn about ecological restoration techniques. We will spend our time together digging, kneeling, carrying buckets, working with our hands, and walking.

Visit Grassroots Ecology’s Redwood Grove 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.
