Grassroots Ecology leverages the power of volunteers to create healthy lands across Silicon Valley.
We restore native plants to open spaces and neighborhoods, steward creeks and watersheds, and provide hands-on nature education. By increasing biodiversity together, we believe we can restore our own interconnectedness, wellness, and sense of place in a fast-moving world.
WHAT’S NEW
We offer hands-on ways to learn about the natural world while making a positive impact. Volunteer with us to improve local ecosystems, or join a naturalist or community science event to explore nature in open spaces and urban places. We offer opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds, everyone is welcome.
Grassroots Ecology programs are designed to benefit the diverse natural habitats and human communities that make up Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties of the San Francisco Bay Area. Our stewardship work impacts 2,400+ acres, 7 creeks, and 25 outdoor spaces located in 10 cities, from Redwood City to Los Gatos.
When you donate to Grassroots Ecology, you are contributing to vibrant, healthy lands and ecosystems across Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties—helping nature flourish everywhere from our forests and creeks to our city parks and streets. What’s more, you are propelling new generations of environmental stewards who are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and inspiration to protect and restore nature and make our world a better place.
