Growing Solutions is a restoration organization that works
near the airport. They are working on
the restoration of the Goleta Slough. We
planted seeds into the one gallon buckets, then put them into the kiddie
pools. Plants that like water need to
live in the wetlands. Some like
salt. Sloughs are really important
because they are like a filter for things that get caught in there. It is also a nursery for fish and birds.— Addie and Sarah Jane
NOAA's National Marine Sanctuaries Ocean Guardians Program encourages children to explore their natural surroundings in order to form a sense of personal connection to the ocean and the watersheds in which they live. Santa Barbara Charter School Home Based Partnership has begun its study of the Maria Ygnacio watershed and its relationship to the Santa Barbara Channel Islands.
Planting Natives at Growing Solutions
We have worked with Growing Solutions on habitat restoration at the Goleta Slough several times this past year. We have worked in the nursery transplanting "baby" plants, done seed dispersal, planted adult plants in a planned restoration, and visited a premier restoration site. Great work!
