Volunteer Event at HRNA - December 2025

Join us at the Hedrick Ranch Nature Area near Santa Paula for a special volunteer event. This event is a great opportunity to help preserve local plant species and learn about the importance of ecosystem restoration.

During the event, our knowledgeable staff and trained volunteers will guide you in collecting seeds from various native plant species and in weeding some of the trails. The seeds will be used for future restoration projects in the preserve and other areas needing ecological restoration.

This collaborative effort supports our local environment, and we encourage everyone to participate. No prior experience is necessary, and all ages are welcome. We will provide all the necessary tools and equipment, but we recommend bringing water, sunscreen, and a hat.

We look forward to seeing you at the Hedrick Ranch Nature Area for this exciting and meaningful event.

When You Volunteer With Us, Please Remember:

• Wear long, sturdy pants for comfort and safety
• Wear a long-sleeve shirt for protection
• Bring sunscreen and a sunhat
• Wear hiking shoes or boots for safety. No flip-flops or sandals allowed
• Bring plenty of water and snacks for the day
