Learn from a Belmont Heights Neighbor and Native Plant Expert
Belmont Heights residents are warmly invited to join us on Wednesday, June 10 for a special BHCA Community Meeting featuring local botanist and conservation expert Andy Chambers.
A field botanist by training, Andy has worked with Claremont Graduate University and the California Botanic Garden, and now oversees habitat conservation projects for the California Department of Fish and Wildlife across much of Southern California.
Closer to home, he and his partner have transformed their Belmont Heights yard into a thriving native plant landscape that supports pollinators, wildlife, and sustainable gardening practices.
What You’ll Learn
Andy will share practical, approachable insights on:
Replacing traditional lawns with native plants
Creating water-wise, wildlife-friendly landscapes
Supporting birds, butterflies, and pollinators
Choosing native plants that thrive in Southern California
Simple ways residents can create healthier local habitats
He’ll also bring samples of some of California’s beautiful native plants.
Whether you’re an experienced gardener, just getting started, or simply curious about sustainable landscaping, there will be something for everyone.
Long Beach Utilities Will Be On Hand
We’re also pleased to welcome representatives from Long Beach Utilities.
They’ll be available to answer questions about:
Lawn replacement rebates
Water-saving programs
Sustainable landscaping incentives
Ways to reduce water use and save money
If you’ve been curious about making changes to your yard but weren’t sure where to begin, this is a great opportunity to speak directly with local experts.

Whether you have questions, concerns, or just want to listen and learn, you’re warmly invited. This is a chance to come together, be heard, and strengthen our neighborhood through open, thoughtful dialogue.
