DESCRIPTION:Join Pie Ranch and the Amah Mutsun Land Trust to remove invasive species 
 from Cascade Creek!\n\n9:00am - 2:30pm Volunteer work Session\n\nWater, 
 lunch and snacks will be available\n\nWe will be removing invasive plants 
 in a critical section of the creek. We especially need help removing 
 eucalyptus sprouts from around the creek. Previous experience is not 
 necessary. We will teach you how to identify the target species and how to 
 remove and process them.\n\nDue to the rough terrain, this event is best 
 suited for participants age 16 years and older.\n\nWhen you arrive at 
 Cascade Ranch, park in the parking area next to the first white barn and 
 walk to the work site following the event signs.\n\nBe aware that the areas 
 in which we will be working may contain poison oak and other prickly plants 
 like blackberries, thistle and stinging nettle.\n\nPlease do your best to 
 arrive on time so that we can all move to the creek area together!\n\nWhat 
 to bring:\n\n* Work gloves\n* Water bottle\n* Hat\n* Sunscreen/rain gear\n* 
 Sturdy work boots or shoes\n* Lots of energy and a desire to weed out 
 invasive species!\n\nTo register for the event, please sign up through our

 Riparian (creekside) restoration is nowadays more important than ever. 
 Indeed, healthy riparian ecosystems promote ecological and climate 
 resilience both within and beyond riparian zones, lead to the accrual and 
 sequestration of carbon and nitrogen in soil, absorb heat and buffer 
 organisms against extreme temperatures. Cascade Ranch is within an area of 
 high biological richness and surrounded by California protected areas. 
 About 1.2 miles of Cascade Creek fall within the boundaries of the 
 property, which is currently managed by the non-profit Pie Ranch. Cascade 
 Creek represents an important habitat connectivity area for a wide array of 
 plants and animals and a potential traditional food source for people. 
 Unfortunately, the riparian zone has been highly affected by the spreading 
 of invasive plant species, which are causing loss of biodiversity and 
 related ecosystem services and products. The 2020 CZU complex fire has 
 further contributed to the increase in number, variety and spread of 
 invasive species along Cascade Creek.\n\nYour hard work and participation 
 will help shape the future of this land!\n\nThank you.\n
