​It Takes a Village

Today we partnered with science students from CSULB to install a native plant habitat in front of Lowell Elementary School.  Using truly local species from our coastal chaparral, we planted a variety of shrubs, trees, and other perennials that should be well adapted to our local climate and weather patterns.  After a few growing seasons, these plants will support local pollinators and other animals as food, shelter, and breeding grounds.  Thank you Professor Paul Laris for showing your students how restoration happens.
