OCH Restoration at Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy

Join OCH at the Huntington Beach Wetlands Conservancy as we continue our restoration projects in their salt marsh habitat. You'll be getting your hands dirty by removing invasive species, planting native species, and/or doing debris clean-up around the site. It is also a wonderful chance to expand your knowledge on wetland ecosystems and native flora.
