Celebrating Earth Day!

This year VCRCD celebrated Earth Day at the Camarillo Grove Park's Love Your Planet event! Families who stopped by our table were able to learn about insects, make their own antennae, and color stickers of their favorite pollinators while learning about ways to help sensitive pollinators.

Butterfly Garden Planting Day

On May 4th our ecologists led an effort to restore monarch butterfly habitat at the Oxnard Masonic Cemetery location. We are forever grateful for our volunteers who make this type of work possible. The VCRCD consists of a small staff so large habitat work would be physically impossible without the support of volunteers.

Santa Clara River Watershed

Last month VCRCD staff toured several project locations along the Santa Clara River Watershed. Tour attendees were given the chance to view the growth of invasive plants along the watershed.

Invasive plants such as Arundo donax reduce suitable wildlife habitat, impact river hydrology and contributes to higher fire frequency.

Bird Watching

Santa Paula 5th graders joined VCRCD staff on a nature hike to Ormond Beach where they were able to observe snowy plovers and play in the sand. Prior to their field trip the students learned about these birds through an in classroom visit which included making snowy plovers out of cotton balls.
