Earth With Us: The Great LA River CleanUp At Golden Shore Marine Reserve

201 Golden Shore,Long Beach CA 90802

22 April, 2023

Description

About the SiteThe River needs YOU! This April, join FoLAR in the Lower River to collect trash and prevent waste from polluting our watershed and flowing into the Pacific Ocean. Together, we’ll make a collective impact and do our part to tend to the vibrant urban ecosystems that thrive throughout our region. The Golden Shore Marine Biological Reserve, not far from the mouth of the LA River in Long Beach, is a beautiful site, as it is a small sliver of the original wetlands that historically flourished in the area. A birdwatcher's paradise, the site's critical habitat has made it a sanctuary for birds and other local aquatic life. CleanUp supplies (work gloves and trash bags), hand sanitizer, and a water station are provided. What to Wear & BringThere are areas of this site that can get pretty muddy, so wear sturdy, close-toed shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, or boots or water shoes if you have them. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen and a hat. We’re providing cleanup supplies, so all you need to bring is a reusable water bottle - we’ll have ice water available onsite.
