Nicholas Flat Oak Tree Planting

The Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains needs your help to care for the oak woodland at Nicholas Flat in Leo Carrillo State Park.

During this event, volunteers will help the RCDSMM care for previously planted oaks by watering, weeding, and mulching trees as well as planting new acorns to restore the woodland that has been lost. Volunteers will also collect meaningful data to aid in an ongoing reforestation project the RCDSMM is conducting.

Please wear clothes you are willing to get dirty in as well as durable shoes. Be sure to bring a sun hat, layers and drinking water. To help you prepare for the day, we'd like to mention the event will involve between a 0.25-1 mile hike over mostly flat, decomposed granite trails. You will need to navigate through these trails while carrying a 5-gallon bucket or buckets, half-filled with water. Please note, while this is an ADA accessible event, there are no restrooms on site, however our team can direct you to a nearby location.

We will be meeting at the trailhead of Nicholas Flat at Decker School Rd. Carpooling to this event is encouraged as parking is limited!

We look forward to your help in our efforts to reforest the wildlands of the Santa Monica Mountains!
