Volunteer: National Park Service weed warriors ! date changed to sat Aug 15th

San Diego, CA – Winter rains at Cabrillo National Monument have brought much needed moisture to the beautiful coastal sage plant community on Point Loma. Unfortunately the heavy rains are also benefiting invasive plants or weeds. Weed Warriors is a dedicated group of volunteers who are helping to remove invasive non-native plants from native habitat at Cabrillo National Monument. The removal of invasive plants helps with native habitat restoration and preservation of ecosystems here at the park. More volunteers are needed to help win the battle and protect native plants. . Participants should wear sturdy shoes/boots, long sleeve shirts, long pants, a hat, and sunscreen. The work can be hot and a water bottle is highly recommended. Gloves, weeding tools, and trash bags will be supplied.
