Habitat Restoration
At our monthly and ad-hoc habitat restoration events at the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve, in partnership with California Native Plant Society and San Fernando Valley Audubon Society, over 1,000 dedicated volunteers removed invasive vegetation like black mustard. This work reduces soil runoff and wildfire risk, opens space for native planting, and increases biodiversity for over 200+ species of local and migratory birds that frequent the reserve.

65,190 gallons of invasive vegetation removed

River CleanUps
922 volunteers
Our 34th Annual Great LA River CleanUp made its highly anticipated return on October 5th! Volunteers devoted their morning to remove tons of trash and debris from the LA River and its tributaries. Less trash in the River means healthier riparian and marine ecosystems for people and urban wildlife including great blue herons, ospreys, least bell’s vireos, fish, frogs, arroyo willows, and more! This year, FoLAR formed our Volunteer Corps and Lisa joined as our very Corps member! She has dedicated her time, energy, and talents to helping our team run major events like River Fest and CleanUp. Thank you, Lisa!
