Join Rivers & Lands Conservancy on Sunday, November 2nd for our “Annual Acorn Harvest” at Cienega Canyon Preserve, located in the City of Calimesa. Over the past decade, many of the Preserve’s oak trees have suffered from drought, pests, and disease, leading to a significant loss of food and shelter for the wildlife that calls Cienega Canyon Preserve home. To help restore these extra important trees, we gather acorns each fall with help from the community and plant the next generation of oaks the following winter.
Participating volunteers will be hand collecting acorns from oak trees and walking approximately 1-3 miles over uneven, dirt terrain for the duration of the event. This event is family-friendly and open to all ages! Participants under the age of 14 must have an adult volunteer accompany and supervise them for the duration of the event.
Volunteers must RSVP ahead of time through our new signup platform by clicking here. Questions? Reach out to Angie at aleon@riversandlands.org. Space is limited, so save your spot today!
Many thanks to our project funders at Inland Empire Resource Conservation District for supporting our efforts to restore oak woodland habitat at Cienega Canyon Preserve. 🌳🦉
