Engage with the oak woodlands with Volunteer Program Lead Catherine Caldwell, Interpretive Specialist Katie Renz, and Docent Naturalists Ani Agahian, Alison Thompson, and Jessica Kolla. First you'll learn about Midpen's volunteer restoration opportunities during a short morning pulling a notoriously invasive plant called yellow star-thistle. This hands-on effort will be followed by an interpretive hike highlighting the staggering diversity of creatures living in an oak-dominated landscape. Bring a snack or lunch. Registration is required and will be open on June 4: Sign up here.
