Griffith Park Burn Area Wildlife Habitat Restoration Project
Griffith Park's Wildlife Need Your Help!
Please join in the effort to help Griffith Park recover from the fire.
Volunteers are needed for habitat restoration.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays this Spring, volunteers will be removing invasive plants that are quickly overgrowing the burn area. These invasive plants are competing with the native plants for light, water, and nutrients. The wildlife of Griffith Park need you to help the
native plants that provide their food, water, and shelter.
We will begin with a training about native and non-native plants in Griffith Park, so don't be late! If you have them, please bring your own gloves and/or pruners. A limited supply of gloves tools will be available (most work can be easily done by hand). Please make sure to wear long- sleeved shirts, long pants, and sturdy, closed-toed shoes.
You may also need sunglasses, sunblock, and a hat. For more information, or to arrange specific times, dates, parking, etc:
