Volunteer & Community Events
Join your local RCD for an upcoming volunteer event and become a direct part of healing the Santa Monica Mountains. We’ll also provide opportunities to connect with and care for local wildspaces. Check back often for new listings and scroll down for our full yearly calendar.
Trippet Ranch Tree Care
We need your help to heal the wildlands of the Santa Monica Mountains.
During the Palisades Fire, we lost many previously planted oak trees within Trippet Ranch of Topanga State Park. Our team is now ready to invite volunteers back into this fragile space and begin the process of healing this invaluable woodland.

-When: Saturday, January 24th from 9am-12pm
Monarch Restoration Volunteer Opportunity
Help your RCD restore monarch overwintering habitat in lower Topanga State Park.
This unique volunteer event offers participants a chance to restore and ready fire impacted wild spaces for a newly established monarch butterfly population in the Santa Monica Mountains. The invasive species that are beginning to encroach this space can be tough to handle and much of this event takes place off-trail so please be aware this event may not be suitable for all volunteers.

-When: Saturday, January 31st from 9am-12pm
-Where: Lower Topanga State Park near the historical Rodeo Grounds
