Description

About the SiteThe River needs YOU! This summer, 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 Los Angeles County. 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. 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. Additional ConsiderationsIndividuals experiencing homelessness may be at or near this CleanUp site. Volunteers are expected to treat our unhoused neighbors with compassion, dignity, and respect, and should refrain from disposing of their belongings. Volunteers should be aware that toxic or hazardous trash may be found at this site, and for safety reasons, volunteers should refrain from disposing of this kind of trash and instead alert a FoLAR staff member.
