AMLT Native Plant Weeding Blitz at Cascade Ranch
January 15 2022
At the beginning of this year, AMLT started working on a new project to restore and steward threatened coastal prairie habitats at Quiroste Valley Cultural Preserve. As part of this project, AMLT volunteers and members of the Native Stewardship Corps planted over 90,000 native plant seedlings in beds at Cascade Ranch on Año Nuevo Point. These plants will be used for seed production, with seeds collected from them being used to establish new stands of native plants at Quiroste Valley in the years to come.
RSVP in advance.

San Juan Bautista Garden Work Day
February 12 2022
The Heritage Garden has been used to interpret historic structures and the life of early immigrants, but until recently it had little value as a tool for interpreting the lifeways of the original inhabitants of the area. Now, with native plants selected and planted by the descendants of the Mutsun people who first called this land home, Park visitors have a tangible opportunity to learn about local Native people, past and present, when visiting the San Juan Bautista State Historic Park Heritage Garden.
RSVP in advance.
