Grab Your Tools!The Bolsa Chica Stewards, the Restoration Team of the Bolsa Chica Land Trust, have been planting, seeding, watering, weeding, and grooming their native coastal sage scrub garden on the Mesa bluff for over ten years. Using the talents of over 2,000 volunteers, they have successfully planted more than 6,000 native plants, worked over 15,000 volunteer hours, created a new trail system, and removed large amounts of invasive non-native plants. This all-volunteer project has had tremendous community support form people of all ages and all walks of life. Guy Stivers, a nationally recognized landscape architect, has worked hundreds of hours planning and designing the project from its inception. Volunteers are always welcome to grab our tools and join us!

The Bolsa Chica Stewards meet from 9 a.m. until noon on the third Saturday of the month, rain or shine, at the Ecological Reserve parking lot on Warner Avenue just east of Pacific Coast Highway. Volunteers are always welcome! For more information contact Kim Kolpin at (714) 717-6304.

The Bolsa Chica Land Trust has received grants from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the Southern California Wetlands Recovery Project to help continue the work of the Bolsa Chica Stewards.
