Remove Invasive Plants with Audubon California/ Starr Ranch Sanctuary
Starr Ranch “Weed Warriors” help them remove invasive plant species. Invasive species can alter habitats and can have negative effects on wildlife. All of their weed control is non-chemical, and done with hand tools. Currently volunteers help them with periwinkle, English ivy, and Smilo grass removal. If you would like to become a “weed warrior” at Starr Ranch, please contact Sandy DeSimone (sdesimone@audubon.org) at 949-858-0309.Visit: https://starrranch.org/volunteer/

Take Care of Horses at Hanaeleh Horse Rescue
A great way to help is to work with Hanaeleh Horse Rescue's horses on a weekly basis. This option is for the individuals who are able to commit to volunteering once a week. Their trained volunteers come out on Saturday mornings from 8:30am-noon, and all weekly volunteers must be at least 18 years of age. They are currently scheduling orientation training for new volunteers on Saturdays 8:30 to 10:30. Their volunteers learn the ins-and-outs of how the rescue runs. They muck out all of the horse’s stalls, wash and clean their feed bins, salt licks and water containers, and feed the horses. After a volunteer has come out four times, they pair them up with a “buddy” to show how they work with the horses; this way the horses get consistency when they are handled. Please note that volunteers do not ride the horses. NOTE: Volunteering at Hanaeleh does have physical requirements. Some individuals may not feel comfortable and/or aren’t able to meet the rigors of a ranch where the ground is uneven and is on an incline. Additional requirements to volunteer are: Ability to lift 30-40 pounds. (they cart around full muck buckets, hay pellet bags and other heavy items), You will be on your feet for four hours. They have chairs and breaks are welcome, but it’s physical work on your feet. There is a lot of lifting, bending and carrying involved and if you don’t feel comfortable with this, please consider coming out for a tour or a workday instead of regular weekly horse care. They do have a limited number of volunteer spots available for lighter work helping with other chores around the ranch. Please email them for further details.

Join Big Sunday and Kitty Bungalow for a Volunteer/Adoption/Kitty-Palooza! We'll be building kitty supply kits, kitty-sized fleece blankets, helping Kitty Bungalow staff with cleaning and care maintainance and facilitating their weekly adoption event. Bring your best cat-themed outfit and get ready to party! Visit: https://bigsunday.org/wildwoollyapril24/
