Cactus Wren Restoration
Last year the city of Chula Vista requested our help with a restoration project for the Otay Ranch-Salt Creek Preserve. With the help of Mark Dodero and Anna Bennett from RECON and Glen Laube from the city of Chula Vista, we began caring for 112 coast cholla cacti.The Coast Cholla Cacti are the Cactus Wren’s nesting place. When Coast Cholla gets to 3ft tall, the Cactus Wren can begin to nest in them. We are helping grow the cacti until they reach 3ft, when they can be replanted in the preserve to serve as nests for the Cactus Wre
