Royal Oak Greening Project

Community Survey

The City of Covina and Charter Oak Unified School District were recently awarded a planning grant through CalFIRE to develop a "Greening and Urban Forestry Plan" for Royal Oak Middle School. The grant will focus on enhancing the athletic field area and outdoor areas only, and the main school buildings are not being impacted. This survey is an essential initial step to gathering information about the school's existing uses and understanding the impacts of a possible shared-use park agreement between the City of Covina and Charter Oak Unified School District. We'd like to hear from you to ensure a community-driven design. Please participate in this effort by completing this survey.

La ciudad de Covina y el Distrito Escolar Unificado de Charter Oak recibieron recientemente una subvención de planificación a través de CalFIRE para desarrollar un "Plan forestal urbano y ecológico" para la escuela secundaria Royal Oak. La subvención se centrará únicamente en mejorar el área del campo deportivo y áreas al aire libre. Los edificios escolares principales no se verán afectados. Esta encuesta es un paso inicial esencial para recopilar información sobre los usos existentes de la escuela y comprender los impactos de un posible acuerdo de parque de uso compartido entre la Ciudad de Covina y el Distrito Escolar Unificado Charter Oak. Nos gustaría saber de usted para garantizar un diseño impulsado por la comunidad. Participe en este esfuerzo completando esta encuesta.
