Malibu Creek State Park Oak Woodland Restoration- 12/6/2015

Malibu Creek State Park Oak Woodland Restoration Volunteer Event on December 6, 2015 from 9am-12pm.

Return of the Lost Oak Woodlands: There once was a valley where giant oaks held an ecosystem together. The trees were harvested and the valley had many experiences; charcoaling kilns, farming, cattle grazing, movie making. But a white knight rode in: State Parks acquired the property to provide a park for public enjoyment and to preserve an historic landscape. Since 1992, volunteers have enjoyed a wonderful day in the park planting and caring for oak trees and their understory plants. Join Mountains Restoration Trust and TreePeople to care for oaks and rebuild a native landscape.

Registration is Required: We have a limited amount of volunteer spots, so please register for the event on our Eventbrite page here.
