Invasive Species Crew

How can you get your exercise for the day and help improve the natural habitats in Mission Trails at the same time! By joining Ranger Dustin's Invasive Species Crew, held on the 1st Saturday of each month from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. (except in July & Aug., due to the heat).

This volunteer crew helps restore disturbed habitat in the park by removing invasive, non-native plants. Invasive plants are detrimental to our park's ecosystems, and their removal benefits many native species that make MTRP special.  

 Please wear long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes. Also, please be sure to bring along work gloves (if you have any), sun protection and a water bottle to refill.  Ice water, Gatorade and snacks will be provided. 

* Minors (with a signed waiver) ages 8 and above are welcome to participate, with an adult present for those under the age of 13. 

Volunteers are responsible for knowing their own physical limitations, the safe usage of tools, and being aware of the environment (sun/heat, rattlesnakes, ticks, poison oak, etc.).
