The Bolsa Chica Land Trust on Thursday announced that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has approved a $77,233.00 grant to help implement the restoration for the Bolsa Chica wetlands mesa.
The grant to implement the Community Promoted Restoration will be administered by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
This funding will be used for a nursery designed to produce more than 60,000 plants to restore the Mesa to multiple native plant habitats during the 10-year CPR period for the project.
Assisting in the design, building and installation of the nursery will be the faculty and students of Golden West College's Environmental Studies Program. The creation of the nursery is due to begin in 2010.
For more information on this and other projects and issues at Bolsa Chica go to its Web site at www.BolsaChicaLandTrust.org or call 714.846-1001.
