Habitat Restoration
We dove hands on with habitat restoration at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve. Together, we removed over 16,300 gallons of invasive vegetation across 1.08 acres of the reserve, and created over 1,850 hand-made seedballs using native plant species.

Habitat Restoration
We dove hands on with habitat restoration at Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve. Together, we removed over 16,300 gallons of invasive vegetation across 1.08 acres of the reserve, and created over 1,850 hand-made seedballs using native plant species.
In the first 3 months of this year, we’ve accomplished:
- Eliminating 288 cubic gallons of invasive species
- Contributed $15,000 toward habitat restoration projects
- Partnered with two non-profits for conservation efforts (@conservation_legacy and @calparks)
- Dedicated 151 total volunteer hours
And it’s only getting better! We recognize that none of this would be possible without YOU - our community of supporters and collaborators. Thank you for Leaving It Better with us.
We partnered with the folks at the Conservation Legacy on a habitat restoration project led by the @cabrillonps. Our team of staff and volunteers removed invasive species to make room for native species to thrive.
With some rolled up sleeves, we set out to tackle a pressing ecological challenge in the area - the invasive orchard grass that has taken root in Round Meadow.
In the heart of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park on the Pine Trail, a 2-mile short loop, became the focus of our efforts, where the task at hand was clear: restore the falling fences using natural materials, respecting the environment in every step.
Our impact check-in with our partners at Yellowstone Forever. Dan Stahler is a wildlife biologist and lead scientist on cougar, wolf, and elk conservation projects who takes us through a first-person view of monitoring the cougar populations in the park.
