The Santa Clara Valley Chapter of CNPS supports several habitat restoration and native garden projects in Santa Clara County and San Mateo County. We encourage members and supporters to get involved with a project near you, whether at a park or creek or natural area. Restoration projects are a great way to learn about native plants and their role in the ecology and see firsthand the damage caused by invasive plants, and native plant gardens provide an excellent way to learn more about growing native plants. Both restoration and native garden projects provide an opportunity to make a difference and help the environment.
Our Chapter supports these projects:
- Edgewood Weed Warriors (EWW) at Edgewood Natural Park and Preserve in Redwood City
- Alum Rock Park in San Jose
- Lake Cunningham Native Plant Garden in San Jose
- Kirk Park Native Plant Pollinator Garden in San Jose
- Cataldi Park Native Garden in San Jose
Here are some more ongoing restoration projects with other local organizations if you're not able to join one of our chapter projects.
