With the recent fires and fire threats environmentalist groups have planned to restore balance to the Santa Monica Mountains through various methods, including replacing non-native plants and trees with native ones and reforesting different areas, all in the aim of reducing the fire risk as well as the risk of landslides.
Both the Mountains Restoration Trust and TreePeople, have worked together for around the past 10 years to preserve and enhance the natural resources of the Santa Monica Mountains. This month they organized a volunteer event where reforestation techniques were taught alongside the reasons why the mountains need to be restored due to the cattle ranching and film studio productions of the last few decades which have damaged the local environment and ecosystems. The project aims to restore many native oaks using acorns from local trees as well as local grasses.
The project aims to preserve the areas natural habitat for generations to come. In the past 10 years the organizations estimate they planted thousands of trees, but due to wildfires and animals eating saplings, the project is ongoing.
The Santa Monica Mountains are just one reason why people decide to buy a property in Malibu.
