Eco-Related items on the Glendale City Council agenda.
We did it! Despite the insane heat, community volunteers pulled together to plant 8 Engelmann Oaks along this block of Wilson in front of GUSD headquarters. This entire block was nearly treeless.. This is a busy part of town frequented by many, so it will be very nice to have more shade here for everyone. We planted these trees in honor of much loved board member Jack Walworth whom we sadly lost far too soon. Jack was deeply dedicated to cultivating a sustainable world, and these oaks continue his vision of a cleaner, greener Glendale.![]()
During this planting today we got thanks from several folks who live in apartment buildings just adjacent to the lot, which the neighborhood kids use at night to ride around with their bikes. We got eyes on the parking lot empty tree wells for phase two…9 more trees…when it’s cooler! ![]()
This was GEC board member Alek's idea and we are so glad for all the groups who coordinated to make it happen! Many thanks to our Glendale Environmental Coalition peeps for helping, @Glendale Parks and Open Space Foundation for organizing and purchasing the trees with an Arbor Day Foundation grant, Citadel for all of their help (and the cold drinks!), Franklin Green Team for help, and huge thanks to North East Trees for all of their help, work guidance, tools, bringing the trees, and just bringing it all together! Thank you to Glendale Unified School District for collaborating and FASO Director Hagop Kassabian for assisting!![]()
This is what community looks like!
Interested to know about a new clean energy project that will be supplying Glendale 25 Megawatts (MW) of Solar Energy and up to 18.75 MW/75 Megawatt-hours (MWh) of Battery Energy Storage? GWP owns a 12.5% share of the ELAND SOLAR & STORAGE PROJECT which is featured on Sammy Roth's "Boiling Point" Podcast in his "Inside LA's Solar Megaproject" episode. He tours the facility in Kern County and tells us all about it!![]()
For a little history - here is our post from back in 2020. Yes, it's been a while but we are now getting energy from this project thanks to early negotiations on the part of GWP to get in on this project with LADWP, and for a very good price.
