The Great Los Angeles River CleanUp

Sure, it doesn’t look so glamorous now, but give it a few years, a billion or so dollars and some steady rain, and the L.A. River will be a point of civic pride for Angelenos. Do your part in the process during the Friend’s of the Los Angeles River’s annual cleanup—which this year adds habitat restorations, nature walks and river education activities to its slate of programming. Rather than focusing on one spot, the cleanup tackles multiple locations each weekend.
