Bio 120 and Botany 120 students at Bolsa Chica

Thanks to all my students who came out today to help weed and plant native plants on the Bolsa Chica Mesa. One of our lead volunteers sent me this email about you:
"Hi, Connie--I worked with a group of your students today, and I wanted you to know they were terrific! Excellent workers, pleasant companions--there were a few high-school kids in our group, and some cross-conversations that were helpful, instructive, and altogether pleasant. Good bunch, and they deserve extra credit. I hope they return."

I know I have great students, and it is sure nice to hear it from other people too. I am very proud of the hard work you all did today.

Bolsa Chica Stewards Volunteers Plant over 300 plants on the Bolsa Chica Mesa

The Tree of Life Nursery could not deliver the plants out onto the mesa for us since the ground was so wet from all the rains, so we carried the plants out by hand or in wagons and wheelbarrows. The Bolsa Chica Stewards had wonderful weather this morning as we planted, and pulled weeds away from plants put in during the last couple of months. There was a big turn out from Cerritos College students. This was the first month we were able to use the walk-bridge instead of walking on Warner Ave. This made a huge difference in safety for our volunteers.
