Friends of the LA River

Friends of the LA River’s mission is to build capacity for communities, students and future leaders to advocate for nature, climate and equity on the Los Angeles River. We envision a vibrant and verdant Los Angeles River that supports vulnerable communities in climate adaptation. 

With your help, we can transform the LA River into a dynamic, functioning ecosystem that reduces flood risk, cleans the air, cools temperatures and supports the biodiversity essential to our collective wellbeing.
