Read more about them here...and please join us in our work! Corona Heights Restoration Corona Heights is the small, rocky peak that can be seen from the Castro. GLS works with the San Francisco Parks and Recreation Departmentâs Natural Areas Management Program and other volunteers to remove invasive non-native plants, and to restore its original flora and fauna. GLS member Jim Houillian has been volunteering at Corona Heights for many years, and recalls when radish, a familiar annual with purple and white flowers, was the predominant plant on the hillsides. Todayâs variety of plants demonstrates how ongoing restoration work has greatly enhanced the biological diversity on the hilltop. Habitat restoration on Corona Heights takes place from 10 am to approximately 12 noon the last Saturday of every month. Volunteer Creek Monitoring Program Join the Contra Costa Watershed Protection Group in this helpful program. Registration is open for volunteering to do a creek check. No experience is necessary, just an interest in collecting data and getting up close and personal with a creek. To learn more and to register to volunteer go to http://cocowaterweb.org/get-involved/monitoring/bioassessment. Volunteers for Outdoor California (V-O-Cal) Throughout the year, GLS partners with V-O-Cal on several trail building projects throughout the bay area. In addition to trail building and helping with park maintanence needs, GLS participants get the opportunity to spend the weekend camping and being fed wonderful meals from the V-O-Cal crew. We will announce official GLS participation; however, feel free to checkout the V-O-Cal website for the multitude of work/camp weekends offered for 2009 at www.v-o-cal.org.     Home    |    About GLS    |    Outings    |    Conservation    |    Join     © 2008 Gay and Lesbian Sierrans, San Francisco Bay Area
