This deciduous rhizomatous perennial, forms spreading clumps of bamboo-like stems to 5m high, with arching, strap-shaped blue-green leaves. The foliage makes a wonderful rustling sound in the winter winds.

How A Giant Reed Grows So Fast
How A Giant Reed Grows So Fast
A species of giant reed is unique in the plant kingdom, growing with a speed only matched by plants that use a very different method of photosynthesis. For the first time, we have some answers on how Arundo donax achieves its efficiency. This may offer researchers pointers in makingmore efficient use of sunlight and water. There are three pathways, known as CAM, C3, and C4,in which plants use…

Community Service in Ventura: Event to remove invasive plants from Ventura River---September 1st
Event: The City of Ventura will partner with 630+ students from California Lutheran University for the school’s largest community service learning project, called “You Got Served”. Cal Lutheran’s entire incoming freshmen class and transfer students will work alongside city staff and the Ventura Hillsides Conservancy to remove the invasive arundo donax — which kills native plants, shelters illegal activities and is a fire hazard — in the Ventura River bottom.
arundo donax
The “You Got Served” program began in 2008 when Cal Lutheran’s Office of Community Service asked the city’s Volunteer Ventura! office to help create a service learning opportunity that would engage all the new students during the school’s orientation week and help fulfill their mission of service and justice. Together, they came up with the environmental clean-up program.
During the last seven years of the program, Cal Lutheran’s students and city staff: ·• assisted with the restoration efforts in the Ventura and Santa Clara Riverbeds and removed more than 57 tons of trash and debris; ·• carefully removed invasive ice plant in the Ventura Harbor Wetlands Ecological Reserve; ·• beautified three city parks, a historic site, and a community center
Cal Lutheran President Chris Kimball along with other faculty and staff members will also assist students in this service learning project intended to connect students to our local community and show what can be accomplished through public-private partnerships.
Date & Time: Tuesday, September 1, 2015 from 11:30am to 3:30pm
Location: Ventura Riverbed
