The Great Los Angeles River CleanUp

Sure, it doesn’t look so glamorous now, but give it a few years, a billion or so dollars and some steady rain, and the L.A. River will be a point of civic pride for Angelenos. Do your part in the process during the Friend’s of the Los Angeles River’s annual cleanup, which includes river education activities along the way. Rather than focusing on one spot, the cleanup tackles multiple locations on October 5, including Bull Creek in the Valley, North Atwater Park, Compton Creek and the Willow Street Bridge in Long Beach.
