October 26, 2024 East Beach Restoration
On Saturday we congregated at the Santa Barbara East Beach nature restoration area
with about eight scouts. The object of the service project was to eliminate non-native
weeds and plants from the area around habitat. A representative from the county gave
us direction as to which plants to save and which to eliminate. We did a pretty good job
of cleaning up and left the debris in several piles to be picked up later. Fortunately, it
was an overcast morning and not too hot and although it was a lot of work it was
satisfying to be part of the bigger effort of preserving the habitat for native plants, birds
and animals. An abundance of yummy donuts sustained our hard work! Jack G.
