SAMO Fund's Quiet Role Staffing the Nursery for the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing

SAMO Fund is one of several partners establishing the Native Plant Nursery to grow plants for wildlife habitat to be placed atop the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing. We are so proud of SAMO Fund employees Nursery Manager Katherine Pakradouni, Assistant Nursery Manager Julia Samaniego and Nursery Technician Jose Campos.

The Los Angeles Times featured their work in the article Saving the next P-22 starts with a million ‘hyperlocal’ seeds and a bare-bones nursery.

SAMO Fund plays a critical role alongside the other core partners mentioned in the article. The Fund has worked closely with the National Park Service to secure funding for staffing at the nursery.
