STRAW is currently planting native grasses and herbs on the southern bank of the dike facing ECWRF, Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility.

STRAW is also now working with ReLeaf Petaluma, a new local nonprofit that John is working, to plant native trees in Petaluma. Oak seedlings will be started at the nursery to develop container trees for planting in the future.
