Groups of volunteers are needed to help prepare, plant, and care for the trees and plants that will secure the future of the Goleta Butterfly Grove at Ellwood Mesa. 1200 new eucalyptus, 800 native trees, and several thousand flowering shrubs and wetland plants will be planted.

We are seeking groups to sign up to volunteer, such as service clubs, faith groups, or schools. Tools will be provided. We just need volunteers! Yes, we can provide community service hours for high school students. 

Ellwood Mesa is one of the West’s most important winter sites for migrating monarch butterflies. In recent decades, drought and storms have damaged the forests where monarchs seek shelter, and their populations have declined. Join the City of Goleta as we undertake a nationally significant conservation project to restore and improve the monarch butterfly habitat for generations to come.
