Description
Funded by a grant, this restoration project transformed a degraded riparian corridor into a thriving native habitat, reconnecting student residents to local ecology through hands-on stewardship. Over the course of a year, we developed a detailed planting and canopy management plan, propagated over 250 native plants, and oversaw the installation of 300+ plants from 36 species.
