Habitat Restoration Team (HRT)
The Cosumnes River Preserve's Habitat Restoration Team (HRT) is a volunteer group that is dedicated to the restoration and conservation of habitat within the Preserve. These generous volunteers assist Preserve staff in every aspect of stewardship from restoring and managing riparian forests, to cleaning up after major flood events.
HRT includes volunteers from all walks of life with a variety of different skills. Some are one-time volunteers who come out to help for just one day. Others have come to nearly every workday for years - some for over 15 years!
If you are interested in seeing parts of the Preserve not open to the general public, or if you want to learn more about the Preserve's various habitats, we need your help. There are no pre-requisites for becoming a HRT member, except to be prepared to get dirty, work hard and have a lot of fun!
HRT Volunteer Workdays are twice a month (schedule). So, pack a lunch, put on your work clothes (long pants, long sleeved shirt, work boots and rain clothes) and come on out.
For more information, contact Alex Cabrera, Site Coordinator, at acabrera@tnc.org or 916 622-2353.
