Help preserve Malibu Creek! An invasive species of crayfish is wreaking havoc on local habitat. The non-native crayfish eats native amphibians and fish and degrades the native ecosystem. Mountains Restoration Trust, as part of its work throughout the Santa Monica Mountains, works every week when possible to restore Malibu Creek.
