March to End Homelessness, Meet at Cathcart & Cedar, Santa Cruz
We’re just days away from the inaugural #marchtoendhomelessness, and this milestone event wouldn’t be possible without all of our amazing coalition partners!

This compassionate coalition of nonprofits, local government, and service provider partners have been hard at work in getting the March off the ground for months, and we are so excited to come together on Saturday, April 1, to connect even further with our community goal of ending homelessness.

Resource Festival, Santa Cruz County Office Building
Members of the coalition will be at the march, tabling and providing information on their services. Come to the festival at the Santa Cruz County office building from 11:30 am – 2 pm, and hear more about the varied service providers countywide.

Community members will be able to:

Connect with local service providers and learn more about their work addressing homelessness
Find resources for themselves or their loved ones
Sign up for volunteering opportunities

Want to learn more about all the resources out there and how you can make a difference? Join us!

Watsonville Wetlands 4th Saturday Restoration Event
2023-06-24 09:00 - 12:00 | Watsonville Wetlands, 500 Harkins Slough Road, Watsonville, CA, 95076, United States
Watsonville Wetlands 4th Saturday Restoration Event
Saturday, June 24, 9am-12pm
Join us in restoring our wetlands on Saturday, June 24, 9am-12pm and every 4th Saturday. Meet us at 9am at the Fitz Wetlands Educational Resource Center, 500 Harkins Slough Road, at the top of the Pajaro Valley High School campus.
The work site will be located on the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County’s Watsonville Slough Farm, 275 Lee Road in Watsonville.
We will be working on a grassland restoration project site, caring for plants that were planted last year. We will remove non-native plants and add mulch. If the timing is right, we may also collect some seed for propagation.
Please note that it is about a 10 minute walk on a rough dirt road from the parking area to the work site, including a steep uphill climb. (Folks with vehicles with adequate clearance may drive up to the site.) We hope to see you there!
