This week the contractor worked to relocate the property owner's waterline under the new bridge and to regrade the road approaches to be ready for paving. The California Conservation Corp was out on Tuesday and Thursday to install erosion control material and install 140 native plants. The paving of the driveway was completed on Tuesday afternoon. The bridge railings are currently being built and nearly complete.
The California Conservation Corp (CCC) works to install erosion control blanket on the bare creek banks. The erosion control blankets are composed of coconut fibers and are 100% bio degradable.
The CCC also helped to install native riparian trees and understory plants at the site. Native plants for the project were grown by Santa Barbra Natives and Estero Natives from local seed stock and cuttings.

The CCC crew also helped to install a drip irrigation system. The bridge railings are nearly complete and the contractor plans to be finished over the next few days. We will work with the property owner to monitor the project site and our native re-vegetation efforts over the next few years. Check back for updates and photographs as the native re-vegeation efforts take root and fill in the project site over time.
At the end of the day on Thursday we got some much needed rain and a rainbow!
