Sean plants seedlings for the restoration project. |
As part of the Berkeley High students' afternoon laboratory for AP Environmental Science,
students participated in the Strawberry
Creek Restoration Project on the UC Berkeley campus. In the fall, students transplanted native seedlings
into "cone"tainers so the individual plants could grow a larger root mass. |

Planting seedlings are, from left, Daniel, Lara, Joanna, and Anton. |

Anton and Clio delicately plant seedlings destined for the restoration
project. |

In January 2006, after the winter storms had substantially soaked the soil, students planted the
native seedlings in circular plots. They mapped the newly planted seedlings so they can measure
survival rates in the spring.
