Based on the Center for Land-Based Learning’s Student and Landowner Education and Watershed (SLEWS) Program, our Education and Restoration teams hosted two field days for Oak Park High School students to gain hands-on field experience and receive mentorship from environmental professionals.
16 students from the National Honor Society Club planted over 60 native plants alongside VCRCD staff and volunteer mentors. Students learned about native vs. invasive species, restoration planning basics, and the importance of pollinators.
13 students from the National Honor Society Club returned to the restoration site to check plant progress, weed, and monitor monarch eggs and caterpillars. Students learned about population dynamics, limiting factors, and competition of pollinators in nature.
