Join AWWEE for a one-of-a-kind day that blends networking, service, and hands-on learning along the LA River!
In partnership with Friends of the LA River (FoLAR) and the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power’s Green Team, we’ll roll up our sleeves to make a real impact on local habitat restoration. Volunteers will work side-by-side to remove invasive mustard plants—a fast-spreading species that threatens California’s native ecosystems. Through this hands-on activity, you’ll gain insight into how invasive species disrupt biodiversity, and why their removal is a critical step in restoring healthy, thriving habitats.
After our restoration work, the experience continues with a creative, restorative activity led by FoLAR educators. You’ll take part in seed ball making, a fun and interactive way to reintroduce native plants back into the environment. Together, we’ll learn how seed balls support long-term river health while connecting with each other in a more relaxed, nature-based setting.
All weeding tools and supplies for the educational activity will be provided—just bring your energy, curiosity, and willingness to get your hands a little dirty.
This event is the perfect opportunity to make a tangible difference for the LA River, connect with sustainability leaders and peers, and leave with new knowledge and connections.
