Coastal Watershed Council
Our friends and clients at
Coastal Watershed Council
are dedicated to transforming the lower San Lorenzo River into a community destination. Recently, Lighthouse Bank and the Holland Sustainability Trust, together, provided a community grant in support of a River Health Day. At the River Health Day,
Lighthouse team members and their families helped to enhance the San Lorenzo river habitat and beautify the Santa Cruz Riverwalk, the urban park that lines the riverbank. We weeded around existing plants and identified and removed invasive plants. By revegetating the river bank, we helped to slow the spread of invasive plants and cultivate species that provide bank stability, food, shade and shelter so that the river ecosystem can thrive.
