Native River Gardeners
The
River Project has found that communities are eager to participate in the
upkeep of the river greenway, especially when they have played a role
in their development. We are developing Native River Gardeners, a program
designed to educate the public about the value of our native plant communities
and build the capacity of local residents to participate in the ongoing
maintenance and stewardship of the River Greenway. With start-up funding
from the California Native Plant Society and the local Neighborhood Council,
we are developing a program that will partner with beautification groups
and students to provide ongoing maintenance and expanding educational
opportunities for local neighborhoods. We are creating a site-specific
reference guide and maintenance manual that volunteers will utilize on
work days as well as t-shirts or hats for ongoing participants.
If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact us.
