People
often ask how Kim and Tom started Habitat Works...
We were both active in Southern California's
natural areas, and had a deep interest in local ecology
and wildlife issues. It was important to us to
take action to improve the situation, especially if
there could be a direct benefit to declining plant and animal species.
Interestingly,
we have found that lots of people also want to take
hands-on action in the habitat where improvements are
needed. Habitat
Works is our personal commitment to this work, helping
native species in their habitat.
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 feel that
stewardship too has an eco-footprint, and we strive to
keep ours as small as possible.
At the
end of the day, participants see tangible results,
and have a deep sense of satisfaction that something
important was accomplished.
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 soon. It's volunteers
like you that
make the difference!
