Events

Friends of Villa Grande hosts and participates in many events throughout the year, both for the public and for members-only. Additional information on upcoming events is posted to our Announcements page and emailed in our newsletter.

Volunteers are always welcome!

We have many opportunities for volunteers to plan and staff events, maintain Patterson Point Preserve, and help the organization run smoothly. Activities are wide-ranging, such as distributing song books and kazoos at the 4th of July celebration, weeding in the Preserve on planned workdays, contributing articles to our newsletter and website, and serving on the FoVG Board.

If you have time and energy to contribute, please email friends@villagrande.org about your area of interest and we'll put you in touch with an activity coordinator.


Upcoming events

    • 2026-09-27
    • 10:00 AM
    • Patterson Point Preserve

    Volunteers are needed to help continue the ongoing weeding & restoration of Patterson Point Preserve. Come pull baby ivy from the newest restoration area. This is a great time of year to make sure they don't have the chance to crowd out the native plants. Please help us spread the word – bring a friend or neighbor! 

    Contribute however much time you can and learn more about PPP. Wear sturdy clothes and bring gloves and water. Rainy days will be rescheduled if needed. If you have questions, please email pattersonpointpreserve@gmail.com.

    Restoration priorities include removal of invasive species; limiting flood erosion in swale (planting sedge); improving the habitat for native birds, mammals and insects; encouraging appropriate understory plants; ensuring the long-term health of our significant trees and minimizing the impact of our human visitors.

    Three restoration volunteers, one in an FoVG shirt, pose with a rake and shovels beside a wheelbarrow on a Patterson Point trail under the redwoods.
