Hi all, </font></div>

<div><font face="arial, sans-serif">>> Please distribute widely among students at UC Berkeley! <<</font></div>
<div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="arial, sans-serif">Come help out the Oak Woodland Restoration Project at
<a href="https://hastingsreserve.org/">
Hastings Natural History Reservation</a>! We are looking for a handful of students to<b> help restore important habitat for blue oak</b> (<i>Quercus douglasii</i>) impacted by the October 2024
<a href="https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/2024/10/8/piney-fire">
Piney Fire</a> and subsequent fire suppression efforts. With the aim of preparing blue oak saplings for long-term success, we will need to monitor the impacted areas for invasive weeds and engage in established restoration techniques. Tasks will include invasive
plant removal, irrigation methods, mulching, and more. This project was funded by the
<a href="https://tgif.berkeley.edu">
TGIF</a> grant opportunity. </font></div>
<div><font face="arial, sans-serif"><br>
</font></div>
<div><font face="arial, sans-serif">Through your participation in this project, you'll gain invaluable experience and education in restoration, get compensated for it ($18.77/hour), and get to spend time at a beautiful reserve in Carmel Valley, CA. Housing
will be provided as well as mileage compensation if you drive your own vehicle. A full kitchen and mattresses will be available, but bring your own food and bedding (i.e. sleeping bag, pillow, bedsheet).
<u>Each trip will be a one night stay</u>. </font></div>
