East Anacapa Island Restoration Project 
CIR works with the Channel Islands National Park on an important and exciting habitat restoration project on Anacapa Island. We work with adults and school groups on single-day trips to restore habitat invaded by non-native iceplant that threatens the island's sea bird nesting habitat and native plant communities. Volunteers remove iceplant, grow plants in the island nursery, collect seed and plant native species. We typically meet at 7:00 AM at the Park Service headquarters, and we arrive back on the mainland around 5:00 PM. Volunteers bring their own lunch, snacks and water, and we supply
the rest!
Contact CIR to volunteer.

Eastern Santa Cruz Island Projects
CIR works with Channel Islands National Park to remove non-native plants, collect seed and plant native species in sensitive habitats on the eastern end of Santa Cruz Island. We conduct both day-trips and multi-day trips to this portion of the island, and several hundred school kids and individuals have helped us with this project so far. On single-day trips, participants perform service work at several important restoration sites, have the opportunity to hike on interesting trails and experience the park visitor center. On overnight trips, participants stay in the Park Service campground and get involved with a wide variety of activities including evening educational activities, swimming, kayak excursions and hiking.

We plant native species, build fencing to project rare plants from non-native animals, and we eradicate high-priority invasive weeds that threaten the island's ecology. Volunteers make multi-day trips to the island to work with us on these projects, which are prefect for corporate and service groups.
