Local High School Seniors Complete their Projects at the ENC!

Corona del Mar High School seniors Ariana & Kelsey restored habitat at the ENC for their Senior Projects...

Kelsey is monitoring the habitat to see what is there so hopefully after the restoration she will find that the habitat has improved.

Planting riparian species in her project location.


Ariana is doing a line transect - determining what species are already there (both native and non-native).

She visited countless times to weed, weed, weed!

Finally - today she planted the plants that SHE determined though her own research to be appropriate locally native riparian plants.
