River Health Day on the San Lorenzo River

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.

Location: Santa Cruz Riverwalk on the west side of the San Lorenzo River and upstream of the Laurel Street Bridge.
