Iceplant Removal Event
Please join the restoration!
Iceplant (Carpobrotus edulis) is native to South Africa which shares a similar climate with Southern California. Because iceplant didn't co-evolve with our local plant communities, it will crowd out and prevent the growth of native plants that adversely affects other species that depend upon them. By removing iceplant, we help restore some balance which can have cascading benefits.
Since 2016, volunteers have removed icepland and other non-native plants and we've already seen native plants such as saltgrass and Alkali weed start to return to the cleared areas. We need your help to continue this success!
