No experience is necessary to help with plantings, stream bank stabilization, invasive weed removal, protective tree wrapping, and storm drain stenciling.

All are welcome to attend.

Participants will gather in the Markleeville Library Park, located at 270 Laramie Street at 9:00 a.m. for registration and introductions. Groups then carpool to their restoration project locations.
