Adobe Creek Restoration Celebrated

Town volunteers identified a grant program and used the $83,000 to restore the creek habitat with native plants.

Gardner Bullis students, Los Altos Hills officials and staff, and the Santa Clara County Water District celebrated the completion of a $83,000 restoration project of Adobe Creek Tuesday in Edith Park.

The town sought and received a $83,000 environmental enhancement grant to restore a section of Adobe Creek to native riparian habitat and provide an educational opportunity for students.

Students from two sixth-grade classes from Gardner Bullis school planted more than 600 native species plants in two days.

On a perfect Tuesday afternoon, Mayor Gary Waldeck, Council members Courtenay C. Corrigan and John Harpootlian, along with former Council member Jean Mordo, were on hand for the festivities. One of the two Gardner Bullis classes were on hand to take a bow for the group's handiwork on the banks of the Adobe Creek.
