About this Event

Join us on Saturday, May 23rd, 2026, to support ongoing efforts to restore native grasses at UCLA’s Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve. Collaboratively organized by the UCLA Ecological Restoration Association (ERA) and UCLA Environmental Student Network (ESN) and led by local restorationist Katherine Pakradouni, this free hands-on event will support native grass restoration at Stunt Ranch through activities such as gathering seed and making preparations for transplanting potted grasses into the ground!

Stunt Ranch Reserve staff are actively restoring native grasslands by growing plants on site and later transplanting them into disturbed areas of the reserve. These areas—particularly around the education center—experience frequent human activity and are often dominated by invasive grasses. In 2025, the reserve launched a successful restoration initiative with the help of volunteers and students, who collected native seeds, built an on-site nursery, and sowed seeds into plugs and flats. The seedlings have since grown and now need to be transplanted into larger containers to allow continued growth before being planted in restoration areas next fall and winter.

Support from students and community members is essential to restoring habitat around the education center. With your help, Stunt Ranch can remain a place to learn about native California ecosystems and where native plant research continues to thrive.

Please RSVP here and join us for an exciting morning of collaboration in stewardship!
