Las Positas Creek Restoration at Adams School

Location: Santa Barbara County

Status: Completed

Habitat Type: Exotics Control, Interpretive/Education, Riparian

Cost: $117,000

The Adams School project combined the restoration of 800 linear feet of a highly degraded stream channel with over 300 elementary school students in collaborative, hands-on learning activities. Asphalt and non-native plants were removed, the channel was regraded, and native wetland/riparian plants and trees wereinstalled. Students learned about wetland ecology and stewardship while restoring this stream on their campus.
