Weeding the Living Roof
LEJ's Executive Director and Nursery Manager Patrick Rump works with CCSF student Jonathon Greer give the living roof some tender loving care. They're pulling out some of the plants that aren't intended to be there while replenishing the roof with some native plugs. Even though the semester is over, a few CCSF students are so committed to the EcoCenter that they are doing work throughout the summer with either LEJ staff or instructor Peggy Lopipero-Langmo.
