In Atwater Village near the Los Angeles River, non-profit Taking the Reins has started a new program to introduce youth to native plant horticulture, conservation and stewardship of the land in urban areas. “Children with limited access to nature will learn about the native species of plants and stewardship of TTR’s portion of the Los Angeles River corridor."

We celebrate Taking The Reins for their program and interest in nature and ecology in Atwater Village along the LA River.

River LA's mission is to ensure the 51 mile Los Angeles River integrates design and infrastructure that brings people, water and nature together. We champion river-oriented policy and sustainable public spaces while creating innovative models for community benefit and participation. We would be grateful to have your support as a sustaining donor of the organization.
