Collecting native seeds to plant next year and eliminating invasive plants are just some of the ways Wildland Restoration volunteers preserve habitat under the direction of botanist Claire DeLeo. Our open spaces, forests, streams, and high country are experiencing numerous impacts due to their close proximity to a fast growing urban population. Development, increasing recreational use and other human activities, have taken their toll on vulnerable ecosystems and wildlife habitat. Jarret Robert, city program director and Alisha Urbiztondo, seed collection coordinator explain to host, Nikki Kayser that teams of volunteers have fun taking on a variety of projects and the food in the filed is not bad either.
