The Home Gardens program works with families that have limited resources to build backyard vegetable gardens and provide 3 years of support to learn to grow food at home including: seeds, plant starts, tools, compost, classes, and more. Families in this program report eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, saving money and groceries, spending more time outside, sharing extra produce with neighbors, and many more benefits! We need your help to make this program possible by helping a lending hand to build backyard gardens.

It is time to change the perception among Amazonian residents and governments that the rainforest is endless. It is not. And it is under daily assault from loggers, large scale agriculture, and ranching. At our forest reserves in the Peruvian Amazon, we are working to grow and plant high-value seedlings of 40+ species of native Amazon trees. We are restoring degraded areas in our reserves with these species, and are also working with local land-owners to reforest their own lands. Properly managed and cared for, tree crops in the Amazon represent a sustainable high-value source of income. At the same time, such crops protect soil fertility, provide animal habitat, protect streams, rivers, and water supply, and sustain the biodiversity for which the Amazon is justly famous.

Our shade houses currently produce several thousand chemical-free seedlings for planting each year, and we plan to branch out to school-operated nurseries in neighboring communities. We use no pesticides, herbicides or fungicides in our production process, and the only fertilizer used is composted animal manure. By planting tree crops along with food crops when a land-owner clears a patch of land, we can jump-start forest regeneration, using the highest value species. When food production ceases in 3-4 years (the time a typical slash-and-burn patch is farmed), valuable tree seedlings will already be well established and able to outcompete the weedy shrubs and vines that normally take over once weeding stops. As trees mature and are harvested, the land-owner has a valuable source of income, and pressure on more distant natural forests is greatly reduced. People live in the Amazon and will continue to do so. What we seek to do is help them better manage the natural resources that they currently have, so that those resources are still available in the future.

Volunteers can make valuable contributions by maintaining and expanding the nurseries, actively planting and weeding around valuable tree seedlings, and by working with private landowners, schools, and other interested parties to encourage area residents to take an active role in forest care and management. It can be dirty sweaty work at times, but seeing emerging forests of young trees that have been heavily over-harvested or extirpated from many areas is hugely rewarding. Your efforts will be paying off for decades and beyond!

The Coastal Watershed Council invites you to make a difference in the lower San Lorenzo River ecosystem by volunteering with Coastal Watershed Council's River Health Day.
Volunteer and remove invasive ice plant growing along the banks of the San Lorenzo River. Ice plant takes over the riverbank, stops other plants from growing and as a result limits biodiversity in the river ecosystem. You can stop the spread of ice plant and create space for helpful river plants to grow.
We recommend that all volunteers dress in comfortable gardening clothes, include long pants, socks and sturdy shoes. Bring sun protection and a reusable water bottle. Volunteers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Parking is available on Front Street.
