Native Plant Nursery Up and Running!

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Thanks to a generous grant from the West Basin Municipal Water District, installation of a native plant nursery is now complete on the Environmental Charter High School (ECHS) campus in Lawndale. ECHS students are growing native plants to be installed at Santa Monica Baykeeper’s Stone Canyon Creek Restoration site on UCLA’s North campus and for their own native plant gardens at the high school. The nursery enclosure is fully equipped with work benches, timed irrigation system, a rain guage to turn the system off when it rains and all the supplies necessary to grow and care for the plants.
