We've taken the Pollinator Protector Pledge!

We've Adopted Shell Beach

Conservation Works is planning many activities at Shell Beach along the Sonoma Coast.  We took our first Hike for Habitat on the Kortum Trail and down to Shell Beach in 2019.  Last month we formally "adopted" the beach, and plan beach cleanup days, plus other exciting outreach at this world-class geologic place. You'll find us here around Earth Day--if you are interested in volunteering with us for beach cleanups. please send us an email to admin@conservationworksnc.org and put Beach Cleanup in your subject line. We can provide you with the necessary bags, grabbers and similar gear.

Remember the key needs for healthy pollinator habitat:
  • Availability of year-round forage
  • Safety from pesticide exposure
  • Source of water
  • Nesting area
You can make a simple nesting area for some native bees by building a bee house (or buy one on our website here):





 





WE ARE PART OF THE BEE BOLD ALLIANCE

TO WORK FOR SAFE POLLINATOR HABITAT
 

Conservation Works has joined the Alliance to help spread the message about actions people can take to help
our struggling bees and other pollinators.  As part of our support, we have taken, as an organization, the Pollinator Protector Pledge, which states that we will:

  • protect the soil from harmful pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides for the health of all Pollinators.
  • protect the watershed by conserving water, minimizing the use of fertilizers, and disposing of toxic household waste responsibly.
  • pIant  forage with drought-resistant pollinator plants in [our] yards, gardens, and land.
  • discover who came before by learning who the First Nation people are in my area, and what their sustainable land practices are.
  • spread the word by inviting neighbors and community members to join in the effort to protect pollinators to restore biodiversity and food security for all.

Conservation Works is proud
to be a
POLLINATOR PROTECTOR!

Otis R. Johnson Park

Conservation Works is partnering with the City of Fort Bragg in Mendocino County to work in the Otis R. Johnson Wilderness Park within the city.  The park's native vegetation is being displaced by invasive plants and other non-native species.  Additional non-designed trails occur in the park and need rehabilitation or restoration.  Our Kids Creek Care program is a perfect fit for this urban but wild park in the estuary of Pudding Creek.  Stay tuned as we tell you more in the future about upcoming planned activities!

Take a Hike

Nature walks are the perfect antidote to the restrictions of Covid-19.  Wear your mask and get outdoors during these spring days and explore the trails near your house. You never know what you might glimpse.  Getting outside is essential to our health and well being, and we are fortunate to have so many open spaces that we can walk or drive to our local communities.
