For Earth Month, the community gathered at Chino Hills State Park to remove invasive plants around the Discovery Center — freeing up space for native species and reducing wildfire risk in the area.

At Candlestick Point State Recreation Area, volunteers spent Earth Month transforming an open field into a thriving space for native plants and pollinators.

This Earth Month, folks came ready to roll — removing invasive Scotch and French broom that threaten native ecosystems and add dangerous fuel to wildfires. From steep hillsides to hidden clearings, teams cleared brush, hauled tarps, and filled trailers with plant debris.

For Earth Month, volunteers gathered at South Carlsbad State Beach’s Tomato Fields — a hidden gem of vernal pool and coastal sage scrub habitat — and got to work removing invasive plants like iceplant, mustard, and tocalote.

Overlooking the skyline and surrounded by spring blooms, volunteers gathered at Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook to celebrate Earth Month.

For Earth Day, volunteers gathered at Los Angeles State Historic Park to restore habitat for monarchs, bees, and other essential pollinators — right in the heart of the city.

This past Saturday, volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help restore the Moro Overlook — a stunning spot where the backcountry meets the coast.

Volunteers of all ages gathered where two rivers meet — the junction of the North and Middle forks of the American River — to celebrate Earth Day and care for this beloved landscape.
