Walter Capps Memorial Forest

Project Title: Walter Capps Memorial Forest Tree Planting

Description: The Walter Capps Memorial Forest is a little-known gem of El Chorro State Park, in memory, of course, to the former congressman and accomplished Californian, Walter Capps.  The park’s dedication and planting proceeded after his untimely death in the late 1990’s, and OneCoolEarth with the help of the Grizzley Academy returned to the site approximately 10 years later to add even more trees.  In all, OneCoolEarth helped plant several hundred new trees on the site, literally creating a forest of native cypress, oaks, sycamores, box elder, toyon, and Catalina cherries.
