Speakers from Santa Monica Baykeeper, Food & Water Watch, & Environment Now
Carpool tour (option to leave midday)
Led by Jenny Price for FoLAR
Co-leaders: Santa Monica Baykeeper, Food & Water Watch, Environment Now
Everyone in Los Angeles has seen the LA River, and has heard that it's being revitalized. But who knows where it is, exactly--and what exactly is happening on its banks?
The tour convenes at the River Center (570 W Ave. 26, near the 5/110--8:30am sharp!--for a 9:00 departure), where we form carpools, and stops at the verdant Glendale Narrows, a new stormwater park in the same stretch, and the historic Arroyo Seco confluence, and the industrial downtown stretch that everyone's seen in movies and on TV.
We'll eat lunch at an excellent Boyle Heights taqueria en route (or you can bring your own)--and we'll head into the even less well-known South, to the new Maywood Riverfront Park and the stunning new Dominguez Gap wetland.
Bring snacks and water and shoes that can get a little wet. Dogs welcome.
