Volunteer Opportunity: Planting for Pollinators at the EEC – Alviso

Come out to the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge for a few hours to restore wildlife habitat. While you are removing invasive vegetation, planting new plants, or laying down mulch, you'll get to enjoy fresh Bay air, see lots of birds, and learn from restoration experts about why this work is so important.

Requirements to participate:

* You must acknowledge that you are 12+ years of age and you are here on your own time.
* If you are 12-17 years of age that you will have an adult responsible for you during the entire event.
* If you feel ill on the day of the event, you agree that you will not attend.

Community service hours:

To receive community service hours, we will check you in and out from the event. Based on the time you serve, that is the number of hours you will receive. You may earn up to 3 hours.

Other Considerations:

* We encourage everyone to wear comfortable clothing, long pants, warm layers, and sturdy closed-toe shoes - all that you don't mind getting a little dirty!
* Restrooms will be available on-site in the form of an ADA-compliant portable toilet and hand-washing station.
* Reusable water bottles are a huge plus and are a great step to reducing plastic pollution. We will have a water refill station available.
* If you need any accommodations or would like to know more about volunteer hours, please don't hesitate to reach out to watershedwatchers@sfbayws.org.
* Driving Directions: We recommend using Google Maps and mapping to the "Environmental Education Center (EEC)" or 1751 Grand Blvd, Alviso, CA 95002.
