Upper Watershed Pollinator Garden
Alhambra Valley Rd, Martinez, CA 94553, USA
In an effort to do our part to help the California Monarch butterfly–and pollinators in general–FOPCW applied for and was granted a California Monarch and Pollinator Habitat Kit through the Xerces Society in 2022 and again in 2023. These kits contained 175 woody and herbaceous transplants (including milkweed) native bunch grasses, and creek-friendly trees. FoPCW, in partnership with Earth Team, the Contra Costa RCD, and East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD), has planted and is maintaining the plantings in the upper Pinole Creek watershed.
Many thanks to EBMUD for the use of the site, Grifols Diagnostic Solutions for their donation, Pinole High School Swim Team for their fundraiser, EarthTeam interns for their enthusiastic support, and the many volunteers that have gone above and beyond on this project.
