| Visitors from Japan and New Zealand by Tom Livengood On July 2, 2008, students from Huntington Beach sister cities Anjo, Japan and Waitakere, New Zealand took tours of the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve and Shipley Nature Center. Each group of overseas students had four Huntington Beach students as their hosts. The Friends of Shipley provided lunch for the students and guests. Both Anjo and Waitakere are green cities with programs that foster green building projects and protect the enviroment. This was a great opportunity to showcase our community’s restoration projects and the two most prominent environmental assets of Huntington Beach. Gifts were provided for the students by both Shipley Nature Center and Amigos de Bolsa Chica. |
