About the Project

This project will enhance the biodiversity of the San Bernardino Valley College campus garden by planting native plant species to teach students about the importance of native plants in urban environments.
Students will engage in hands-on activities, including planting, pollinator sampling, and animal behavior observations, while uplifting Indigenous and ethnocultural significance and fostering environmental stewardship. College students will create garden interpretive signage and multilingual educational materials and share their acquired knowledge through workshops and outreach targeting the community and local K–12 schools. This project will create student-centered, real-world learning experiences that empower students to become informed stewards of their environment and advocates for urban biodiversity.
