Learn about the necessity and benefits of habitat restoration in our local open spaces! Seasonally wet meadows provide significant ecological benefit. However many of these ecosystems have disappeared over the last 150 years due to development, agriculture and the introductions of invasive species. At Bear Creek Redwoods, Grassroots Ecology has been working to restore one of these habitats.
This talk will describe the successes, challenges and stories of groups protecting these lands. We hope those who attend will leave inspired and empowered to restore biodiversity near and far!
Tyler Feld’s love of the outdoors began from early childhood experiences exploring the oak woodlands of Southern California and the pine forests of the Sierra Nevada. As a teenager with a career goal to “protect the trees,” he pursued a B.A. in Environmental Studies from UC Santa Cruz. Following his degree, Tyler spent five years teaching and directing overnight outdoor education programs throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Sierra Nevada to share his love of the outdoors with youth. His continued love of ecology and stewardship led him to his current role as project manager with Grassroots Ecology starting in 2021. Tyler guides hands-on habitat restoration experiences and inclusive environmental education programs across the Santa Cruz Mountains.
