Program accomplishments
- HOPKINS WILDERNESS PARK RESTORATIONSince 2017, SBPC has been working with the City of Redondo Beach, youth groups, and teams of community members to rewild portions of Hopkins Wilderness Park. We host year-round opportunities in the park that help people connect with nature, learn, and make a difference. SBPC also hosts an annual Earth Day Celebration at the park.Expenses $15,049 · grants $20,573

- ESPLANADE BLUFF GARDENThe Esplanade Bluff Garden is located west of the Esplanade, between Avenue A and Knob Hill Avenue, on a small piece of property owned by the County of Los Angeles, which overlooks the beautiful Pacific Ocean. Although the parcel had some drought-tolerant landscaping, it was not being adequately maintained and it did not provide habitat for California native species. In 2020, SBPC saw this site as an opportunity to support native wildlife and pollinators by transforming the garden into a hybrid native garden, with an emphasis on pollinator-friendly plant species.
- POLLINATOR GARDENSSBPC collaborates with schools and youth organizations, like the Girl Scouts, to plant pollinator gardens on school campuses and sites throughout the South Bay. These gardens are havens for breeding butterflies and are an excellent educational tool for students.
