Our Historic Orchard has been going through the process of preparing it for new trees. An orchards typical life is about 20-25 years, and the current orchard was planted in 1994 (26 years ago!).

We are planting new trees in January and February!! We have removed a number of trees to make way for varieties that will be better adapted for our current and future climate. (Don't worry, we are keeping a few of the remaining trees because they are healthy). Come help our young orchard thrive!

Limited tickets available on Eventbrite, we are looking for volunteers to help us with the revitalization of the orchard. These workdays will focus on sheet mulching, litter removal in and around the orchard, pulling and removal of weeds, minor repairs to infrastructure as needed, and generalized care and maintenance of the orchard itself and our NEW BABY TREES. We will meet at the picnic area. We know many are anxious to help our parks these days, please join us as we practice safe measures of volunteerism.

ABOUT COASTAL CLEANUP DAY AT THE BAY
Each September, 1,000 people—including families, friends, co-workers, scouts and school groups—come from all over Orange County to volunteer their time at Upper Newport Bay. With last year's event going virtual due to the pandemic, we are gearing up to return to our annual in-person event, and a much needed deep cleaning of the Bay. Our goal is to remove over 10,000 pounds of trash! We have already experienced a new wave of waste from the increased use of single use plastics, disposable masks, and gloves over this past year. These items and others risk harming wildlife, pollute our waterways, and threaten public health and your support is crucial to our mission.

Around 800 volunteers are needed to help remove trash from the uplands and marsh areas of the Bay and participate in invasive plant removal. Volunteers will meet directly at 20-25 different mini-cleanup day sites around the 11-mile bay including the Peter and Mary Muth Interpretive Center, Newport Aquatic Center, Big Canyon, Vista Point, Jamboree Bridge, etc. Exact meeting location will be announced and sent to everyone (group leaders) prior to September 20, 2025.
