Volunteer Restoration Workday at Redwood Creek

Join Peninsula Open Space Trust and Grassroots Ecology for this unique group volunteer event restoring Redwood Creek.

Volunteers will be beautifying the shore and supporting sensitive habitat areas along Redwood Creek. We will remove invasive plants and pick up trash in and around our restoration areas to help promote the growth of native plants and improve the habitat for birds and other animals. This stretch of creek is a short distance from the San Francisco Bay, and our maintenance will help prevent trash from persisting in the waterway. This event will involve using hand tools, carrying buckets and trash grabbers, bending, and walking on uneven terrain.

Redwood Creek is located in the heart of downtown Redwood City within an ecologically rich marsh-upland transition zone. With the help of community volunteers, this segment of the creek provides multiple benefits to the watershed, the urban forest, and the surrounding community.

Visit Grassroots Ecology’s Redwood Creek webpage to learn more about the ecosystem and accessibility considerations. We will release more details closer to the date of the event. Keep an eye out for an email containing information about what to bring, wear, etc! All volunteers must register for tickets here.
