| Description: | This project will provide employment and professional skills development for six (paid) interns from communities surrounding the Santa Monica Mountains NRA. Skills development will include project management, public speaking, leading organized groups in work activities, and technical skills related to planning and implementing revegetation and plant community restoration projects. The project will also provide an opportunity for a minimum of 100 community members to participate in park improvement and learn about native plant communities.
The work performed will result in the visual and ecological improvement of degraded habitat areas surrounding a newly constructed universal access trail, providing a locally unique opportunity for people with limited mobility to appreciate and enjoy the parkâ¿¿s distinctive flora and fauna in a way that otherwise can only be experienced by extensive hiking. |
