With two restoration sites actively maintained, join HandsOn and Canyonlands in keeping the sites clean to better help the landscape and wildlife. Home to milkweed and other native plants, Olivia Canyon is a popular trail that is frequently used. Canyonlands wants to make sure the trails are clear and that the native plants are safe from potential fire. Your work will also assure that the plants present in the canyon will continue to thrive and be resilient in the face of the ever-present danger of climate change.

Volunteers will be removing brush and invasive plants. 

• Attire: Wear sturdy shoes or boots (closed-toe shoes are required) and comfortable clothes you don't mind getting dirty (long pants). This opportunity takes place outdoors with little or no shade so volunteers should wear sun protection such as sunscreen and a hat.

• Bring: Reusable water bottle. Water, tools and gloves are provided.

• Physical Requirements: These events are flexible, but they ask that volunteers are comfortable with hiking short distances, bending, and physically removing weeds with hands and tools. A positive mental attitude and a willingness to have fun is mandatory! Unfortunately this opportunity is not able to make accommodations for individuals with physical limitations and the space where this project takes place is not wheelchair accessible.

• Waiver: Volunteers under 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a San Diego Canyonlands Youth Waiver to participate in the event. Please have a waiver signed and turned in before the event starts.

• Weather: San Diego Canyonlands rarely cancels due to weather. If necessary, the event will be canceled the morning of the project.​

• Note: There will not be a restroom available at this project space.
