Description

Join FoLAR for the return of the Great LA River CleanUp! Masks and social distancing will be required. See details below. The River needs YOU! This summer, join FoLAR and our partners for a series of small, in-person cleanups to collect trash and prevent waste from polluting our watershed and urban waterways. Together, we’ll make a collective impact and do our part to tend to the vibrant urban ecosystems that thrive throughout Los Angeles. All registered volunteers will receive a CleanUp Starter Kit, available for pickup at a local REI or mailed to your provided address, with the essentials to participate, including trash bags and a pair of plant-based disposable gloves. As part of our COVID-19 Safety Protocols, additional supplies may not be provided on site. 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.
