This spring, our Habitat Restoration Intern Ruby was invited to share her “story of possibilities” with hundreds of people as a closing speaker at the TOGETHER Bay Area annual conference. Read her speech on possibilities in hands-on habitat restoration!

Every spring, Grassroots Ecology staff head off-trail at Pearson-Arastradero Preserve to monitor, map, and remove an invasive annual grass called medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae or Elymus caput-medusae). Grassroots Ecology has been actively managing medusahead here since 2010. Learn why and how we’re managing this invasive species.

You won’t be surprised to learn that Grassroots Ecology staff members love California wildflowers! We steward open spaces in the San Francisco Bay Area that host a diversity of native wildflowers, and we want to share the wildflower love by telling you about some of our favorite wildflower hikes and viewing opportunities where we work.
