People
often ask how Kim and Tom started Habitat Works...
We were both active volunteers in Southern California's
natural areas, and had a deep interest in local ecology
and wildlife issues. It was, and still is important
to
take action to improve the situation, especially if
there could be a direct benefit to declining species and
native habitats.
There
were many opportunities to write our congressman, write
a check for a cause, or attend a meeting. But we
wanted to do something, on the ground, in the habitat
where improvements needed to be made. And we found
many others wanted to Do Something too, people who were
ready for
hands-on action with tangible results. Habitat
Works is our personal commitment to helping people
connect to unique opportunities, having fun in the out
of doors, making a real difference in Southern
California's wildlands.
Habitat
improvements are all we do, with an emphasis on
simplicity. We work with local volunteers,
strongly encourage carpooling, and use low-impact techniques in
accomplishing our objectives. We know that
stewardship too has an eco/carbon footprint, and we strive to
keep ours as small as possible.
We
host single day events, weekend campouts and backpacking
trips in Southern California’s National Forests,
private preserves, State Parks, National Wildlife
Refuges and urban
interface areas.
We
would love to meet and work with you! Pick a
project that interests you and come out with us!
Take home the sense of satisfaction from accomplishing
something important. It's volunteers
like you that
make the difference!
