Through urban native greening initiatives, invasive plant and trash removal, ODI has involved the community to help restore Manzanita Canyon’s native riparian corridor and reduce the amount of pollution that flows downstream into San Diego Bay’s wetlands. In order to broaden its ecological and social impact, ODI aims to increase the frequency of restoration efforts in the Manzanita Canyon. In the fall 2017, ODI will open its state-of-the-art ‘Living Lab’ educational facility at the head of Manzanita Canyon. The Living Lab will be a 12,000 square foot cutting-edge facility with 35,000 square feet of outdoor, natural features and will be a focal point for community engagement.
