Restoring Pollinator Habitat and Wildlife Across Fresno County Landscapes: Sierra High School

The project at Sierra High School in Fresno County, California, aims to restore native habitat by replacing existing grass lawns with California native plants to enhance pollinator and wildlife support. This effort will transform school grounds into a more ecologically resilient landscape, promoting biodiversity and reducing water use. In addition, the approximately 25-acre Nature Trail will undergo comprehensive restoration through selective thinning, removal of invasive species, routine trail maintenance, controlled pile burning of vegetation, and the replanting of native species to improve ecosystem health and trail accessibility. The initiative is led by the Sierra Resource Conservation District, with Kelly Kucharski serving as the primary point of contact. The project is forecasted for implementation with a posted date in May 2026 and is located in zip code 93667. Although no solicitation number or set-aside information is provided, the work reflects a broader commitment to land stewardship and environmental education within the school community. All activities are designed to align with regional conservation goals and support the long-term sustainability of natural areas adjacent to the school.
