Volunteer Outdoors: Habitat Restoration at Bedwell Bayfront Park

Come join us to work on a project funded by Measure AA to tend a pollinator garden that will sustain a small ecosystem at Bedwell Bayfront Park. During our time together, we will be planting native plants, watering, and adding mulch to our garden area to support local pollinator populations. Come prepared to kneel, crouch, carry buckets of mulch, and use hand tools!
