Lower Ranch Restoration Project & Upper Ranch, Trail Side clean-up

 

Hollister Hills SVRA volunteers and staff once again will join thousands of other volunteers and organizations across the nation who have for over 20 years assembled together for the largest national day of community service, National Make a Difference Day.

 

This year we will have two scheduled volunteer activities at Hollister Hills SVRA. The annual Clean Wheeling trail side clean-up event in the 4X4 Upper Ranch portion of the park. Participants will use their 4X4 vehicles to travel throughout the park while at the same time cleaning up along the roads and trails.

 

In the Lower Ranch portion of the park, volunteers and staff will gather together and ride to desig- nated project areas where we will be restoring and beautifying several areas in the Lower Ranch and Renz portions of the park. The projects will enhance native ecosystems by re-vegetating areas with native plants that provide habitat for wildlife and soil stabilization for erosion control.
