Chaz Perea, Landscape Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers

For our Second Annual Dodgers Day at the Los Angeles Breakfast Club, we're welcoming Dodgers Stadium Landscape Manager Chaz Perea!ABOUT THE SPEAKER:  

Chaz enjoys tackling new horticultural problems that he’s never had to face before. According to Chaz, working in a facility that finds new ways to challenge you increases your ability to problem solve, but he’s learned not to stress about problems when they do happen. 

A regular day involves work that many horticulturists might not find typical.  Chaz also takes care of the famous "Chavez Ravine" - calling himself and his crew the "Guardians of the Ravine." Their work includes tree pruning, shrub and ground cover maintenance, landscape construction, installation, maintenance, tending to a large irrigation system installed in the 1960's with lots of elevation change, fire code brush clearance on huge slopes, a myriad of drainage issues on slopes, asphalt work, concrete work, and fence maintenance.
