Baldwin Hills Elementary School Living Schoolyard

The Baldwin Hills Elementary School Living Schoolyard project, managed by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) under the State of California The Natural Resources Agency, involves a collaboration between the Los Angeles Neighborhood Initiative and the Los Angeles Unified School District. The primary objective is to implement a green schoolyard at one elementary school located in Los Angeles, California. This initiative focuses on environmental improvement through the removal of 24,190 square feet of asphalt and the planting of 33 number 15 trees and 1,320 plants. Additionally, the project includes the creation of two outdoor natural play and learning environments. The project is identified by solicitation number 8FG23411 and falls under NAICS code 561730. It has been granted a Class 4 Categorical Exemption for minor alterations to land, as it is determined that the work will not result in significant adverse environmental impacts. Administrative oversight is provided by Walter Passmore at CAL FIRE, with official environmental review documentation maintained at the agency's Sacramento Headquarters.
