Description

About the SiteThe River needs YOU! This summer, join FoLAR in the Glendale Narrows 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. Steelhead Park is a beautiful parklet located in the Elysian Valley along the scenic Glendale Narrows, the central and longest natural area of the LA River. The River has an earthen bottom here, with tall trees, sandbar islands, and lots of birds, including ducks, stilts, egrets, and herons. CleanUp supplies (work gloves and trash bags), hand sanitizer, and a water station are provided. What to Wear & BringPlease dress in sturdy, close-toed shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. This site is home to thick vegetation, so consider wearing lightweight and loose-fitting pants and long sleeves. 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. ParkingParking in the Elysian Valley is extremely limited, so help FoLAR be good neighbors to Elysian Valley residents and consider carpooling, ridesharing, or biking to the event.
