Upper Newport Bay Project Calendar of Events

Steward Days Every Wednesday* 9-11am
Green thumbs welcome! Encourage the Bay’s unique genetics to move in to our restoration sites by collecting seeds, propagating plants, and helping with nursery operations. We may also work at restoration sites around the Bay removing invasive plants or planting natives.
We meet at different sites around the Bay. Please contact Matt Yurko for site location and directions at myurko@coastal.ca.gov or (949) 640-0286.

ROOTS (restoration events) one Saturday each month 9-12pm
Volunteers help remove invasives and plant natives in order to provide habitat for wildlife. Training, tools, refreshments, camaraderie and beautiful scenery are provided. All ages welcome! Bring a water bottle, sturdy shoes, and sun protection.
Restoration sites vary around the Bay. Reservations are recommended, especially during the school year when events can fill up a month or two in advance. Please contact Matt Yurko at myurko@coastal.ca.gov or (949) 640-0286.
