California Woods Habitat Restoration

California Woods Nature Preserve invites families to participate in hands-on habitat restoration work. These volunteer-based events engage visitors of all ages in practical conservation—planting native species, removing invasives, or maintaining trails—while learning how to support local ecosystems. It's a rewarding way for kids and adults to make a tangible difference outdoors, get active together, and deepen appreciation for Ohio's natural spaces. Expect to get a little dirty and leave with a real sense of accomplishment.
