Pacific Beach High School

Project Title: Pacific Beach High School Nursury

Description: When Lionel spotted the dying pines in front of Pacific Beach High School in the fall of 2008, he knew he’d found OCE’s next opportunity for combining education, native plant landscaping, and smart urban planting: OCE donated pots, soil and seeds to the school, instructing the students on the virtues of native plants.  Eventually the trees will be planted around the school to replace the pines, shade the parking lot, shade buildings in the hot months, and keep the watering budget intact.  Trees not planted on campus are offered to students who have a place to plant them or planted at other sites around the community.

OCE Work History:

Fall 2008 – Seeding

6.25.2009 – watering

10.1.2010 – Returned to school and donated 150 pots and acorns for science class to plant/maintain.

Project Status: planning planting

Updates:

6.25.2009 – We plan to move the trees temporarily to another nursury where they can be cared for properly while school is out. – Greg
