Program accomplishments
- Visitor Center Native Plant Garden: This project is to redesign and convert the green grass lawn to a native plant garden at the historic Hunt House, now serving as the Visitor Center. This reimagined concept was with the collaboration of the Calif State Parks and Chumash Elders and the garden design provided by the UCLA Landscaping Architecture Department. The garden pathway design is inspired by the Chumash Rainbow Bridge creation story and separates the past pre-European colonization in California and the future potential for rehabilitation from invasive species. This garden will include between 300 and 400 native plants representing 35 different species. Seeds and cuttings have been collected throughout Malibu Creek State Park and are propagated in the State Park nursery. Planting occurs as these native plants grow to a sustainable size. When fully completed in 2026, this will provide visitors (9,264 in 2025) at the Visitor Center the opportunity to walk the native plant garden and view plants they've seen in the park which will be identified with signage and description. This will also provide visitors some of the indigenous people story who had inhabited the park area in the past.Expenses $15,747
