Native plants are thriving, lush and green - Photos taken 2/20/14 Over 70,000 native plants were planted and are maturing due to careful maintenence. A temporary irrigation system keeps them fed with water while their roots take hold. It is expected that the plants will take another year to fully mature and the roots to strongly take hold. In the mean time, water rationing has been imposed due to the drought conditions California is currently experiencing. (Click on the image to the left to see the slideshow.

A Day at Malibu Lagoon These images were photographed on November 13, 2013. Birds continue to flock to the newly restored Malibu Lagoon.
