GREAT L.A. RIVER CLEAN UP (April 2018)

River Friends (FoLAR.org); Xochitl, Crystal Quintero, Dhr. Seven (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

In 2018 we'll clean the LA River in Balboa Narrows (San Fernando Valley), Glendale (Foothills), and a third lower location along our prized "River of Angels" before it meets the ocean.

IMPACT Any discussion about what the Los Angeles River is must begin with a talk about what it was. Imagine a 51-mile-long waterway meandering from the San Fernando Valley to the Pacific Ocean in Long Beach, providing fresh water to 14 cities in the greater LA metropolitan area. SEE OUR IMPACT
