Come help us remove non native plant species from our Bayview Drainage restoration site within the Upper Newport Bay!
The Bayview Drainage project was completed in 2019 and restored a heavily eroded hillside within the Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve. Native plants have been installed to increase biodiversity and a drainage basin was created to reduce sediments and pollutants from entering the bay.
We need your help to remove a variety of non-native plant species growing within this restoration area. Newport Bay Conservancy staff will teach you proper weeding techniques, no experience necessary. All tools and supplies will be provided.
Minors must have a legal guardian present at all times.
To register, go to: Bayview-Restoration.eventbrite.com
Parking & Meetup Location
We will meet at 9am at the restoration site. Parking location and directions will be included in your confirmation email following registration. From the parking location, the restoration site is a short 5-minute walk. NOTE: There are no restrooms at this location.
What to Wear/Bring
Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty and closed toe shoes. Breathable long sleeves, pants, a hat, water bottle, and sunscreen are recommended.
