Grassroots Ecology became an independent organization in 2016, but has served areas along the Peninsula and throughout the Bay Area through other organizations for many years. With the help of thousands of volunteers, their goal is to restore local ecosystems while working with and educating the community about sustainability and the environment. Not only do they work in the field by stewarding the land, removing weeds, planting native plants, and analyzing water conditions, but they also provide after school programs and host events at the McClellan Ranch Preserve that teach youth how to care for their local ecosystems, empowering and educating the next generation of environmental leaders. In Cupertino, over 500 volunteers worked to restore the riparian habitat and the floodplain of Stevens Creek by controlling invasive plants and establishing “islands” of native vegetation.
