Humboldt Lagoons State Park
Volunteer Day at Humboldt Lagoons State Park
3rd Saturday North Coast Redwoods District Volunteer Day
This event is sponsored by the North Coast Redwoods District and the California State Parks Foundation.
We are happy to host a series of public volunteer work days every month. Come by yourself or with friends and family! Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
Next to habitat loss, invasive non-native species are the greatest threat to maintaining natural diversity. Non-native plants harm the native ecosystem by competing with and displacing native species, accelerating erosion, increasing fire hazards, altering hydrologic conditions, reducing recreational activities and causing disease and mortality to plants and wildlife. Help restore our western azaleas in Humboldt Lagoons State Park by removing non-native plants and other vegetation that is encroaching into the western azalea bushes.
WHAT WE ARE DOING: Come on out to a habitat restoration volunteer day from 9am-12pm at beautiful Humboldt Lagoons State Park and learn about native flora and fauna, become educated on natural resource management techniques and tools, and meet new community members. Activities will include invasive plant control and habitat restoration. Pulling out invasive non-native plants is a moderate activity and work locations are within a ½ mile hike from meeting location.
WHERE TO MEET: Meet at the Stagecoach Hill Azalea Trailhead on Big Lagoon Ranch Road at 10am. Take Highway 101 to Kane Road (highway marker 112.5); turn right and go up the hill to Big Lagoon Ranch Road following the signs to the trailhead.
WHAT TO BRING: Water, closed-toe shoes, snacks, sunscreen, and hat. Gloves, tools, and training will be provided.
QUESTIONS: Contact Michelle Forys at michelle.forys@parks.ca.gov or at 707-677-3109.
NOTE: Heavy winds and heavy rain will cancel the event.
