Project Description

Construction & Maintenance

ECI performed coastal bluff revegetation required by UCSC’s Coastal Long Range Development Plan at the Long Marine Lab Campus owned by UC Santa Cruz. This project was focused on a custom design-build planting, irrigation, and maintenance project along a public walkway used by UCSC students and staff to get to and from the campus. The project included design and construction of an irrigation system for 5+ acres of CEQA-mandated native plantings. Over 100,000 locally-sourced native plants were installed by ECI, many of which were propagated by CCW.
