Under the terms of the “Adopt-A-Park” agreement our tasks are:
1. RESTORATION.
Several areas have been restored through erosion control measures and revegetation.
The Boardwalk, especially, has proved to be beneficial for controlling erosion and stimulating native plant growth.
2. INVASIVE SPECIES REMOVAL.
Public land free of invasive species is almost unheard of on California's central coast.
Veldt grass, cape ivy, and bridal creeper have become naturalized in this region.
FEMEF has managed to work wonders in giving visitors a chance to experience how this area once looked.
3. LONG TERM MANAGEMENT.
Because FEMEF has no paid maintenance staff to care for the Elfin Forest,
most restoration and preservation work is done by dedicated volunteers.
Our Work
First Saturday Work Parties
On the first Saturday of every month volunteers meet at 9:00 a.m at the 15th street entrance to the forest. We always find enough to keep us busy for a couple of hours. There is surely something you might be able to help us with. You will be rewarded with fellowship, a feeling of accompishment, the beauty of this place, and cookies.
