SF Repair Cafe Volunteering
Sun, Sep 13, 8:00 PMA San Francisco Repair Café is hosting its first event on Sunday, September 13, where neighbors bring broken or well-loved items to be repaired instead of thrown away. It’s a fun way to reduce waste, share skills, and build community. You don’t have to be a repair expert to volunteer! Any skills are appreciated—sewing, jewelry repair, arts & crafts, electrical, mechanical, baking treats for volunteers and guests, or simply helping with check-in, setup, event support, and teardown. There’s a role for everyone! If you’d be interested in volunteering, please email Anya at anya.prasad@sfbayarearotary.org for the signup link and details.
Green Hairstreak Corridor Workday: all about pruning
Sat, Sep 19, 5:00 PMHelp restore native plant habitat in the Inner Sunset district for the rare Coastal Green Hairstreak butterfly. Folks who join these workdays help create and expand the ecosystem for this little green gem of a pollinator.

Be ready for activities like weeding, planting, seed collecting, pruning, and other land maintenance tasks. We often work in light rain, but heavy rain cancels. Please dress in long pants, closed-toe shoes, and layers - clothes that might get a little dirty! Bring your own water bottle and sun protection. We encourage you to sign our volunteer waiver ahead of time by visiting the following link: [Volunteer Waiver](https://natureinthecity.org/waiver) Visit the Corridor on iNaturalist to see what's living there: [iNaturalist Monitoring Project](https://www.inaturalist.org/places/green-hairstreak-corridor) And see our website to view a map of the sites: [https://natureinthecity.org/green-hairstreak](https://natureinthecity.org/green-hairstreak) \*\*\*Note\*\*\* There is no public restroom available in the Green Hairstreak Corridor, please plan accordingly.
