November 15th, 2008 Stone Canyon Creek Restoration

Over 130 volunteers came out for Santa Monica Baykeeper's last restoration of the year. Large areas of invasive were removed and 250 native plants were installed along the banks of the creek. The once mighty Stone Canyon Creek was a dominant feature of the UCLA campus in the past. Over the years, as the campus expanded, the creek was forced underground and now only this small segment behind the Anderson School of Business remains. The vegetation that persists at the creek site is dominated by invasive vegetation which is choking out the few remaining native plant species.
