Plant Nursery Group

Once the invasive have been removed by the Weed Warriors, The Plant Nursery Group helps with the propagation and maintenance of plants in the nursery and out in the field. Water, weed and mulch newly planted trees and other projects as assigned.

This is a great opportunity to learn about California native plants, nursery practices and habitat restoration by other River Park volunteers, staff and consultants.
