Schoolyard Habitat Update

1/9/2018

0 Comments

 
Nothing is more satisfying to us than removing invasive plants to restore local, native habitat for plants and wildlife.  At Lowell Elementary, we are on Phase III of an ambitious long-term project to remove the suffocating ice pant from a 20,000sf hillside and reintroduce a variety of local vegetation like bladder pod, buckwheat, coastal live oaks, and toyon.  This December, the community joined us for an ambitious ice plant removal party.  It was a strenuous day, but the exhilarating feeling of rolling the ice plant up like a giant carpet to expose the hillside soil to new and healthy biodiversity was priceless.  Thanks to all those who helped, especially Lenny Arkinstall and the Los Cerritos Wetlands Stewards.  We couldn't have done it without you!
