Purchased local native plants to install within a 1.17 acre native plant pollinator and alkali meadow habitat at Ryan Bonaminio Park in Riverside California. This is a City of Riverside public park visited by hundreds of residents every day. Many visitors enjoy walking by the habitat and viewing native plants and wildlife. The project is being done by volunteers. FRH has committed about $5K in funds to be used for this project over the next few years.

Provided a donation of $500 plus $15 processing fee to Community Partners in support of the Grow Riverside conference.

Our group has been working with the City of Riverside and the County of Riverside on ways to expand and improve the network of trails in the Box Springs Mountains including those that connect to planned trails within the City of Riverside. This is one of our major contributions. We plan to provide a grant to the County to improve trails once an agreement is reached.
