The San Diego Zoo Global Lake Hodges <strong>Restoration</strong> Project Needs <strong>Volunteers</strong>!<br />
The restoration sites are ready for you to place<br />
a native shrub. We grow all of our seedlings at<br />
the Institute’s shade house, and it’s bursting<br />
with plants!<br />
What is the project?<br />
SDZG’s Institute for Conservation Research is<br />
planting 10,000 native plants at Lake Hodges this<br />
winter and we need your help! We are working to<br />
restore Coastal Sage Scrub habitat, home to cactus<br />
wrens, road runners and many rare and endemic<br />
plants and animals. This is a great opportunity to<br />
learn about native plants and help build healthy<br />
habitat for our local wildlife. Our goal is to expand<br />
the fire resistant native vegetation that supports<br />
world-renowned biodiversity at Lake Hodges.<br />
The coastal cactus wrens at Lake<br />
Hodges need room to expand, so the<br />
habitat we’re restoring is critical to<br />
their success.<br />
How can you get involved?<br />
Contact us to RSVP for a volunteer day, then come help us plant! It’s that<br />

water them to ensure they survive their first few months.<br />
