This $770,823 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Geographic Programs - San Francisco Bay Water Quality Improvement Fund (CFDA 66.126) will support the Redwood City Urban Creek Regreening Project. The project aims to enhance the ecological and community value of three degraded urban creek sites in Redwood City, California by removing invasive trees and plants and installing native vegetation that provides ecological and water quality benefits, as well as increases flood mitigation and biodiversity. The project will engage community members, high school students, and early career individuals in environmental stewardship through hands-on restoration activities, workforce training, and educational outreach. A subaward to the non-profit organization Nuestra Casa will enable community engagement, particularly in underserved areas of Redwood City and North Fair Oaks. Anticipated outcomes include restoring approximately 1,400 linear feet of creek habitat, planting 750 native plants and 40 trees, and providing training for 16 interns and 50 conservation corps members.
