Two dozen volunteers joined us in planting over 450 native plants at Black Lake Ecological Area in Nipomo on Easter weekend. This site is private, but volunteers were able to experience a behind-the-scenes tour of this special place, including a walk to beautiful Black Lake, led by Land Conservancy Restoration Ecologist Daniel Bohlman. Volunteers have been invited back to the site in three months to check the progress of their volunteer planting.
“It was really great to see the variety of people there –
families, high school youth, college students, professionals –
everyone was really happy to be volunteering. And it was gorgeous weather,”
said Stacy Shull, a volunteer from San Luis Obispo.
Molly & Emma Fuhs volunteered for the second year in a row and said, "helping to save and restore our natural environment is FUN, and it's rewarding to see the impact a group can make year after year." Their dad, Tim, couldn't agree more adding, "it is a privilege to be able to give back to our natural places here in SLO County, and I challenge everyone who has thought about helping to turn off the TV, unplug yourself, get outside and join in!"
