The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance is helping students across San Diego County get hands on experience keeping native plants thriving in our area with their Native Biodiversity Core program that brings together high school students from diverse cultural, ethnic and lived experience perspectives for immersion in nature-based, social learning experiences designed to enhance their critical thinking skills. Isabel Hernandez is a student at City Heights. She is one of 60 students from Crawford High School, Hoover High School and City Heights Preparatory Charter School who spent up to 20 hours a month this school year creating a garden with plants native to our area. The students were guided by a team of scientists from the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.
