After four years of planning, fundraising, and careful research, we are thrilled to share that our Native Plant Nursery has officially expanded. This milestone gives us more than just extra room to grow—it gives us the ability to work more efficiently, protect plant health more rigorously, and welcome our community in new ways. Every part of this expansion was designed with one goal in mind: growing healthy, resilient native plants that give our restoration projects the best possible chance to succeed. 

The Foothill reroute has been a large endeavor for the OVLC stewardship team and all trail volunteers. A project with methodical planning going back to last spring, the team has improved and rerouted a portion of the trail to ensure longevity. 

Look closely at the decisions they make, as the careful branches twist among paths—unseen made known. The orange branches and peeling bark tell a tale millions of years old.
