Socks for Seniors - Christmas 2012
BCRD members donated dozens of new socks and slippers for elderly individuals in care homes. It is common for the elderly to feel very cold and sometimes they do not have enough, or comfortable, socks to wear. BCRD members hand delivered the socks to the individuals in the home and shared many good laughs with the jolly folks at the home.
Land Conservancy Volunteer Day - Palos Verdes
BCRD partnered up with sponsor Whole Foods and the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy to help restore native shrubs to the bluffs of Pelican Bay in hopes of creating more habitat for a local endangered species. Volunteers created clay capsules filled with native seeds and threw them onto the bluff so when the rainy seasons come the clay capsule will crack and the seeds will germinate. Volunteers also helped clean up trash from the rocky beach after the restoration project.
Clay capsule in the making! The clay capsule keeps predators away from the seeds while waiting for the rainy season.
