Service Projects .jpg) We
provide a hands-on volunteer experience to young people and the general public
in some of the most unique natural areas in California. On day trips and
multi-day trips to the Channel Islands, volunteers gain a lasting impression of
the value of native habitat and the science of habitat restoration. As
part of these trips, volunteers view a PowerPoint presentation about the Channel
Islands, including natural history, human history and efforts to protect the
islands. Visit our Schools Program page for more information. |

Public presentations .jpg) CIR provides a variety of public
PowerPoint presentations to community groups about habitat
restoration and preventing the spread of non-native species to the
Channel Islands. Our audiences have included boaters and other
groups that have the potential to spread non-native species to the
islands but otherwise would not receive this kind of information.
We also made presentations to groups interested in preserving the
environment like the California Native Plant Society.

Literature design CIR has designed flyers and brochures to educate visitors and members of the staff of the Channel Islands National Park about preventing the spread of non-native species. We also produce a periodic newsletter to educate the public about our programs and the value of habitat restoration.
