Fern Canyon is one of our special volunteer projects because this was one of the areas completely decimated by the 2007 fire that swept through Griffith Park. Years later, Marshall High students came to Fern Canyon and placed natives to help the area regrow. FoGP continues to help the process by occasionally going in and eliminating invasive plants to help natives gain ground. BTW, this area is adjacent to one of many canyon-fed stream beds throughout the Park. If you’ve never hiked or visited this spot, now’s your opportunity to discover this lush canyon.
As usual, we´ll provide tools and gloves, but if you have a favorite pair you love, please feel free to bring them. We urge you to always wear clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting REALLY DIRTY!
If you’ve volunteered with us in the past, you know Rec and Parks requires volunteer agreements, so if you haven’t filled one out, please do so and send along to Ross. We´ll also have a few agreements available at the event just in case.
