. Our Big Idea!
As in many parts of Monterey County, Marina has experienced a decline in its tree canopy over the past few decades. The dominant native tree of Coastal Monterey County is the coast live oak. Urban tree canopies retain water, reduce runoff and flooding, cool climate, store carbon, improve soils, and provide habitat. Neighborhoods with trees create higher property values, better health, mental functioning, and enhanced quality of life for residents.
This project will work to plant Coast Live Oaks in Marina neighborhoods; provide for materials to continue planting and care of oaks and native plants, walking paths and benches in the Oak Woodland at Locke Paddon Wetland Community Park to provide space for reading, writing and enjoying nature; and provide for native plant, insect and bird walks in the Oak Woodland, and provide an oak care workshop. Activities are open to all residents of Monterey County.
Our mission:
To meet the challenge of declining resources and climate change by helping our communities transition to sustainable practices.
Serve as a resource for information on environmental sustainability
Work with the City of Marina and other partners on environmental policy
Create and work on projects that enhance the natural beauty and ecosystems of Marina. We're now taking on guest posters who would like to guest post about nature, insects, trees anything in that area. Please sent your guest posts though the system over at Rocket Guest Posting and we'll be sure you review each one and get back to you.
