Solano RCD, Putah Creek Council, and Solano County Parks are working together to plant over 10,000 native plants at Lake Solano Park this winter. These plants will provide
food and nectar for Monarch butterflies & caterpillars as well as other wildlife.
They’ve scheduled SEVEN public volunteer events, through March 2027, that will include activities like mulching (to keep down weeds) and planting plants.

All events are on Saturdays and will run from 10:00am-1:00pm on the following dates:
 Saturday, November 21, 10:00-1:00

If you are interested in joining them at one of the volunteer events listed below, please reserve your spot by RSVPing Katherine Holmes at [email protected]. Once you RSVP, you will receive additional information, including a map to the planting site.

All of these events are family friendly, but they ask that children under age 16 work closely one-on-one with a parent or guardian. They will provide all necessary tools and work gloves as well as snacks!
