The City of San Luis Obispo's Office of Sustainability and Natural Resources seeks community members to support a long-term collaborative project aiming to restore grasslands and assist in building beaver dam analogs* (BDAs) at the Johnson Ranch Open Space. Registered volunteers will receive a confirmation email with additional details (e.g., what to wear, bring, leave at home, meeting location, City point of contact, etc.).
Please note:
- Available service dates will show as open shifts for this opportunity on Engage SLO, starting in December 2024 through the end of December 2026.
- We welcome recurring and new volunteers for each shift.
- This opportunity is great for groups.
- Please review the Volunteer Position Description for more information and contact the City's Volunteer Program with any questions ([email protected] or 805-858-0771).
*BDAs are human-made dams that can assist in riparian restoration and improve water quality and quantity in the stream by filtering out unwanted sediment and debris.
Grassland restoration activities will include manual removal of invasive species, digging, weed whipping, seed collection, seeding, and more.
All tools, resources, and training will be supplied by City of SLO personnel. All service will be performed alongside staff.
