Restoration The first and foremost goal of Audubon California's Kern River Preserve is restoration of the riparian forest along the South Fork of the Kern River. Volunteers are the core of this effort. Reed Tollefson, the manager of the preserve relies on volunteers to help with donations, planning, design, and implementation of these restoration efforts. E-mail to find out how to help. KRP - General Workdays Call regarding volunteer projects. Volunteers should be at KRP HQ at 8:00 am ready to work. Be self-contained, bring food and drink to sustain yourself during outdoor work. Wear layered clothes for mountain weather - cold to hot with sun and wind thrown in for good measure. Bring gloves, work boots or shoes, hat and sunscreen. Toss your binoculars and a maybe a camera in your pack as we always take some time to look about and enjoy the preserve. Camping at KRP HQ available for volunteers. Please let us know if you are planning to come - make sure you talk with Sean Rowe about projects needing to be done. He can be reached at (321) 863-5709 or via E-mail. |
