Help the Stanford Conservation steward Lagunita with a Halloween themed volunteer workday! We will be picking up trash (ahhh!) and pulling invasive weeds (oh no!) to improve habitat for California tiger salamanders, among others. Bring a water bottle, wear long pants and sleeves, closed-toe shoes, and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Costumes are highly encouraged! Come dressed as your favorite native organism for a special prize!
