GO WILD with Native Plants – August
11th at Malibu High School
On Tuesday, August 11, 2008 (exact time to
be determined) the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica
Mountains and the Malibu Boys and Girls Club will be putting
native plants into a garden designed to improve water quality in Zuma
Beach. Come over to Malibu High School and help us get dirty!
Water quality expert Jamie Rinehart will
speak to the kids.
This project has been funded by a grant
from the
State Water Resources Control Board via Proposition 50 and managed by the Santa
Monica Bay Restoration Commission.
The Nativescaping
Teaching Garden at Malibu High School will improve water quality,
restore native habitat, and provide an opportunity for our children to learn to
grow native plants.
The garden
has been created by Sara Alexander at Rodriguez & Satterthwaite Design
Build Landscape, a garden design firm located in Topanga, California.
If you are interested in helping our kids
to Go Wild with Native Plants, please contact our Project Manager, Irene
Quinones at info@rcdsmm.org
or 818.597.8627 x 101.
