A stretch of York Creek running past Beringer Vineyards was the recipient Tuesday of some much-needed environmental restoration work courtesy of approximately 250 green thumbs.
About 125 students from Napa’s Blue Oak School removed invasive vegetation along the creek and planted native plants. The project was part of Students and Teachers Restoring a Watershed (STRAW), organized by The Bay Institute, which is devoted to the environmental restoration of the San Francisco Bay watershed.
With the exception of kindergarteners, everybody from the K-8 private school was involved in the project.
