Project Title: Liberty High School Tree Donation

Description: Liberty High School already had an amazing environmental education program when Lionel found out about their need for trees.  Green Works, a program at the school, enlists students to benefit the environment.  Currently, the students are restoring a portion of creek that runs through an empty lot next to the school.  OCE has donated redwoods and oaks to the project and will continue to collaborate with the program as opportunities arise. **Read more below for updates**

OCE Work History:

Fall 2007 – Original tree donation.

Project Status: ongoing

Update:

Fall 2009 – OCE has reconnected with John Semenick and the GreenWorks program and is launching the an educational collaborative with the school.  October 8th marks the beginning of the program–Lionel and John will plant a few dozen oaks along the school’s fences to provide shade, windbreaks, and attractive landscaping.  The planting also begins the restoration process of a historically graded creek-side lot behind the school.  Over the next years OCE plans to work with the school to carry out the restoration of the site, developing a native plant nursery on the premises and training students in fields related to the work.  Click below for a description of our scheduled events at the school:
