Weekly Doran Beach Ice Plant Removal
Every Wednesday (9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.) Bring clippers and gloves and knee pads if you like.
One of the most pleasant workdays happens every week – a trip to Doran Beach to pull ice plant. We are clearing out the ice plant that is in the marshland to make room for natives. It is very visual and quite satisfying, with the sound of the waves, birds and foghorn. To join us, please text Jan Lochner, (707) 569-4724, to let her know you are coming.

Bodega Head Ice Plant Removal Project
Second Sunday of each month (10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.) CNPS is leading volunteers at Bodega Head to save native species from getting smothered by ice plant. Meet at the main parking lot near the bathrooms. Bring water, clippers and gloves if you have them. Email Alynn at alynnkjeldsen@gmail.com for more information and to let us know that you are coming.
