Chaminade College Preparatory, CA, Plant Nursery Initiatives

CCP High School's plant nursery continues to produce and distribute plants for restoration projects across the LA basin. The following are some of the initiatives undertaken by them, including some proposed plans and future opportunities.

• We donated 300 plants to an organization in Westlake that looks to convert their lawn and hillside into a native habitat. Students will help install plants on Saturday, February 21, 2026.

• We donated 600 plants to test plots for restoration projects around the LA basin.

• We donated 150 plants to the public through past giveaways.

• We donated 300 plants to the West Basin Water District for its October event.

  
  

Upcoming future plans and opportunities include:

• We will donate 150 plants to surf-riders foundation for dune restoration projects in Los Angeles.

• We will donate about 300 plants for a lawn-to-habitat restoration project around USC (University of Southern California). Students are invited to volunteer to help install the plants alongside other high schools and organizations.

• We will donate plants to the VA (Veterans) in Los Angeles to help restore 15 acres of land.
