Laguna Tree-A-Thon — January 9th, 2010

The Laguna Foundation is in the midst of their first ever Tree-A-Thon fundraiser and volunteer tree planting event.  On January 9th over 100 volunteers will meet at Sebastopol’s Meadowlark Field (next to Chevron Station on Hwy. 12) to plant over 750 valley oak and other trees and plants.  This is an exciting project on so many levels.  The Foundation is stretching tight dollars to restore a riparian forest in a highly visible field adjacent to the Laguna.  A restoration of this kind has multiple benefits: increasing biodiversity and habitat connectivity, mitigating global climate change and let’s not forget restoring natural beauty!

If you would like to volunteer or pledge for this effort, please see the Foundations’ Tree-A-Thon pages.
