The Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over the 101 Freeway won't open till late 2025, but the work of collecting native seeds and building a nursery to grow them has already begun.

“Whether you’re talking about a nursery or the creation of landscapes in general, so much emphasis is put on what exists above the ground surface ... but if you’re not also thinking about how those plants are connecting with the ecosystem“To have a self-sustaining landscape, we have to re-create the mycorrhizal fungi in the [local] soil and the beneficial microorganisms as well, the earthworms and little soil bugs ...
To further protect against disease, Pakradouni is also sterilizing any recycled pots — the tiny seedlings at the nursery will eventually be transferred to gallon pots so they’re a good size for transplanting on the crossing. And she’s using air-pruning pots with slits on the sides to encourage seedling roots to branch more inside the pot rather than circling the edges of a plastic wall.
The crossing isn’t meant to be a “funneling moment” that directs animals across a narrow bridge from one side of the freeway to the other, Rock said. “We’re trying to capture the scale of space, so we can accommodate the widest array of species.”
