Land Restoration - Help Us Protect Oak Trees at Big Oak Canyon

Help us plaster trees to save them from GSOB!

We found out at the beginning of 2024 that there was an infestation of the gold-spotted oak borer (GSOB) at Big Oak Canyon. Majestic oaks on our beloved land are literally dying from this beetle infestation and we need your help! Most of the mature oak trees at Big Oak Canyon are infected to some degree. The mortality rate of infected oak groves in our area is around 60%. That means that if not addressed swiftly, it’s possible we will lose almost all of our mature Coast Live Oak trees in our beautiful forest. We need a tremendous amount of manual labor to address the workload. If you can volunteer your time, we ask that you commit to a session, and ideally come back multiple times to help.
