Volunteer at the Channel Islands Restoration Nursery

Channel Islands Restoration cultivates thousands of native plants for restoration projects, and we are taking a significant step by relocating to a new facility that can accommodate our expanded needs. We have rented a 21,000-square-foot greenhouse space in Goleta, and it’s a real fixer-upper! We need your help getting things ready. This will be a rewarding volunteer project. Please come out and support our new nursery space in Goleta.

Help support our nursery’s growth and contribute to the active restoration of local ecosystems on our current projects. Our greenhouse nursery is opening its doors to volunteers of all ages and skill levels, offering a unique opportunity to learn and grow with us.

Discover the art of nursery management and gain hands-on experience in:

• Learn about native plant propagation
• Clearing the nursery of weeds and old plants
• Learn about soil composition and nursery irrigation
