The conservation partnerships held an event celebrating the revitalization of the Los Angeles River on August 29, along with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Los Angeles Conservation Corps and the Friends of the Los Angeles River put this effort together as a part of the Southern California Urban Wildlife Refuge Project that reaches deep into Los Angeles, San Diego and Ventura's diverse urban core.
The goal is to bring back nature to its residents and underscore the importance of wildlife and natural habitat conservation, which are essential components to sustaining healthy communities.
The area around the LA River is 57% Hispanic so this effort is of particular importance to our community, which is why we ask that you help us build awareness among this critical demographic.
