- From the Upper Newport Bay Project
Greetings Upper Newport Bay Volunteers,
You are invited to join us this coming Sunday, April 15th, from 9am-12pm for our regular 2nd Sunday volunteer opportunity.
Where: We will meet at the Peter & Mary Muth Interpretive Center (directions and a link to Map Quest can be found here: http://www.ocparks.com/unbic/default.asp?Show=LocationHours). Parking is available in the parking lot at Irvine Avenue and University Drive or along University Drive. All parking is free and no parking pass is necessary at this time. We will meet in front of the Interpretive Center at 9am to sign in and distribute gloves, tools, etc.
Project Description: We will be working in the Butterfly Garden, next to the Interpretive Center. Our dry winter has been tough on the garden and it is in need of our TLC. We will water, remove dead plants, prune and prepare for the installation of a dry creek bed feature.
Project Details: Tools, gloves, and refreshments provided. Please come prepared to work outdoors with long pants, close-toed shoes (no sandals or flip-flops) and sun protection. If you have not previously filled out our Adopt-A-Park liability waiver, please print out the attached forms for yourself and each participant in your group and bring signed copies to the event on Sunday morning. Note that volunteers under 18 need a parent/guardian signature in order to participate. Community service learning hours are available.
Please contact Jennifer at jennifer.naegele@rdmd.ocgov.com, (949) 923-2297 (Sunday – Wednesday) or Sue at sue.stoffel@rdmd.ocgov.com, (949) 923-2293 (Thursday – Saturday) with any questions before the event.
Thank you for your commitment to improving Upper Newport Bay Nature Preserve for future generations of wildlife and humans . . .
We hope you can join us—feel free to bring a friend or family member!!
Thank you,
Jennifer Naegele
