South Coast Botanic Gardens Will Receive New Security Fencing To Prevent Graffiti

The South Coast Botanic Gardens on the Palos Verdes Peninsula will receive a new chain link fence along Rolling Hills Road and the horse trail, Supervisor Don Knabe announced today.

The Security Fencing Graffiti Prevention Project will increase security and make the garden less accessible to graffiti and vandalism. The goal is to protect the collection of rare and unusual trees and plants at the South Coast Botanic Gardens.

The estimated total project cost is $101,000, and is funded by Proposition A Competitive Excess Grant Funds in the amount of $85,000 with the remaining $16,000 coming from the South Coast Botanic Gardens Special Development Fund. The anticipated completion date is September 2008.
