In November of 2009 and again in February 2010, community members and students from schools around the county participated in a collaborative effort to return the Ojai Creek that meanders through Libbey Park to its natural ecology and functioning state.
Join in this continued restoration effort by helping place native plants on Saturday April 3 and Saturday April 17!
Download event flyer .pdf here.
Volunteers are asked to meet at the Libbey Park Gazebo in downtown Ojai. Wear sturdy shoes, long-sleeved shirts, and long pants. Feel free to bring your own shovel, trowel, and gloves; gloves and tools will be provided, but can run out in the event of a large number of volunteers.
The Watershed Committee of the Ojai Valley Green Coalition, under the leadership of conservation biologist Brian Holly, completed a site analysis, habitat assessment, stream characterization study, and stream morphology survey last summer, followed by the November non-native plant removal. Over the holidays, a tree plan was written, and an irrigation plan is in the works.
This creek and riparian habitat restoration project is being made possible by funding from the Earth Island Institute and by support from the Wetlands Recovery Project and the Coastal Conservancy of Southern California.

I strictly recommend not to hold off until you get enough money to order all you need! You should just get the loan or auto loan and feel yourself fine

This sort of details need to be valued by everybody - it is some thing that I consider we can all draw upon. I quite considerably like the theme you're making use of here which I think is wordpress isn't it? I've been searching all over for some thing simular but have yet to locate some thing suitable for my website. I looked at the link on your footer and will try and download a copy of it for myself - thanks.
