Happy Earth Day from Coastside Land Trust!
This Earth Day, we’re sending out a heartfelt thank you to all of you who continue to care deeply for our coastal lands and open spaces. Every native flower, bird, and butterfly benefits from your love and stewardship — and we see that impact firsthand every day.
A special shout-out goes to our incredible Habitat Heroes team, who gather on the second Saturday of every month to roll up their sleeves and remove invasive weeds from our coastal habitat. These dedicated volunteers are making a real difference, helping native ecosystems thrive right here on the coast.
At our 4th Habitat Heroes Workday on Saturday, April 12, we want to give major thanks to Vicky, Julie, Carol, Sophia, Vivienne, Samantha, and Barbara L for their outstanding work removing invasive ice plant from the bluff edges at Wavecrest.
Yes, it was windy — again! — and the ice plant didn’t exactly cooperate this time around, but that didn’t stop our team. Their efforts are key to giving native flowers the space and sunlight they need to bloom this spring. While the ice plant may have pretty pink flowers, it tends to crowd out native species, so removing it is essential to restoring a healthy, biodiverse coastal habitat.
Want to get involved?
Join the movement! Our Habitat Heroes meet on the second Saturday of each month and we’re always looking for more hands to help. Email us at info@coastsidelandtrust.org to learn more or sign up.
Let’s keep working together to protect and restore the land we all love.
Happy Earth Day!
