Location: Ash Meadows Wildlife Refuge
Agency: Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS)

Native grasses and trees will be hand planted along a portion of the newly restored Fairbanks outflow. The native planting is an important part of the restoration process as native plants compete with exotic species, stabilize disturbed soils, and provide habitat for wildlife. Individuals need to be in good physical condition as planting requires bending, kneeling, and getting dirty.
