Habitat Restoration in Malibu Supports Native Bird Nesting

While surveying one of our habitat restoration sites in Malibu, Envicom Staff Biologist Cameron Cesa discovered a lesser goldfinch nest tucked within a thriving mulefat shrub.

This small but meaningful finding highlights the ecological value of restoring previously degraded habitats. Not only do these efforts improve landscape health, but they also provide critical nesting and foraging space for native wildlife.

Every restored site tells a story of resilience, and each nest is a sign we’re moving in the right direction.
