Saturday May 20th was the first Conservation Day in Eaton Canyon since the start of the pandemic. Conservation group leader Max Yasuda and a group of volunteers from the Caltech Y had fun removing half a ton of invasive and non-native mustards and thistles that clogged the trails.

You too can be part of the fun. The conservation group provides monthly and by-appointment opportunities to community members wishing to volunteer with the Eaton Canyon Nature Center. These opportunities will specifically entail conservation efforts within the park such as weed removal, tree planting and maintenance of native plants. The group accepts sign-ups from the public at https://tinyurl.com/eatoncanyonconservation.
