Pacific Wildlife Care volunteers who work at the Morro Bay Rehabilitation Center love animals, so it is not surprising that many of them like the idea of encouraging wildlife to visit the Center when they are not sick or hurt.

For this reason, and to help make our center look great, PWC has begun a California Native Plant Garden around the Wildlife Center.

FIND OUT WHY WE CHOSE CALIFORNIA NATIVES FOR OUR GARDEN

Mike Kilcoyne began preparing the site for planting in mid-March 2008, including the paths. We obtained donations for the decomposed granite paths from members. All the plants were in the ground by mid-April, and most all of the drip system was also in place by then.

• Tree of Life Nursery, San Juan Capistrano provided our first plants - March 13, 2008
  
  
• Design services, planting services and drip system installation was provided by Mike Kilcoyne of Sustainable Organic Landscapes.
  
  
• Oasis Equipment Rental in Cambria, CA donated use of a rototiller and compactor
  
  
• The Tree Man donated 3 Monterey Pines and 1 Coast Live Oak
  
  
• Farm Supply Company donated supplies needed for the drip system

WE STILL NEED:

• A water tank of approximately 500 gallons

• A strong stand approximately 10 feet tall to hold the tank.

• More drip system components, more decomposed granite for future paths, more mulch, and more plants for the other sides of the building
