Building Native Habitat at Rio de Los Angeles State Park: TestPlot focused!

If you love California native plants, the LA River, and urban habitat restoration, please help us plant, weed, water, and mulch our native habitat at our TestPlots
Why: Be part of building vital, climate-resilient landscapes for the benefit of both local wildlife and surrounding communities. Through a partnership with Audubon at Debs Park, Theodore Payne Foundation, Terremoto/TestPlot and others, this site is also particularly focused on creating a habitat for the endangered Least Bell's Vireo and Pollinators! You'll learn about the species that we are planting and caring for, as well as their role in supporting local wildlife and biodiversity.
Who: The Los Angeles River State Park Partners are an independent nonprofit organization and State Parks cooperating association dedicated to supporting the three State Parks adjacent to the L.A. River: Los Angeles State Historic Park in Chinatown/Northeast DTLA; Rio de Los Angeles State Park in Cypress Park; and the Bowtie Parcel, the former G1 Railyard in Glassell Park that will soon become the third River adjacent State Park. We protect and enhance the community, cultural, natural, and historic resources of the River Parks.
What to Expect:
You’ll work with a small group of committed, long-term Rio volunteers and Luis Rincon, Community Engagement Coordinator for California State Parks.
With hand tools, wheel barrows, hoses, and buckets, you will dig, plant, weed, water, and spread mulch in the palnting areas.
We're interested in adding five new regular volunteers who have the interest and capacity for a consistent, ongoing relationship with us.
We seek folks who want to learn deeply about the site and become fellow stewards of this public land!
What's Required:
Volunteers must be at least 18 years old.
