PAST NONPROFIT PROJECTS AND EVENTS
Ballona Wetlands Restoration
The Friends of the Ballona Wetlands is dedicated to protecting and restoring Los Angeles’ last coastal wetland. By restoring these important ecosystems, we help improve our air quality, water quality, habitats for many species, and so much more! Time and effort put into clearing out invasive vegetation gives our slow-growing native plants room to thrive.
Lopez Urban Farm Tree Planting
Lopez Urban Farm planted the following trees: 2 Desert Museum Palo Verdes, 4 California Bay Laurels, 2 Western Redbuds, and 2 Black Elderberry trees. Volunteers contributed to the expansion of Pomona’s urban forest, helped improve local air quality, and provide a cool place for the community to enjoy shade during the hotter summer months coming as a result of climate change.
Earth Day Tree Planting
Located between the intersection of Pico Boulevard and Union Avenue immediately west of Downtown, Pico-Union is the one of LA’s most diverse and economically challenged neighborhoods, and is also the fourth-most-dense neighborhood. Pico-Union lacks adequate green space and tree canopy, subjecting the community to poor air quality and extreme heat during summer.
CNN #CalltoEarth Day
In light of the UN Climate Conference, CNN International created a social media campaign (#CallToEarth) to highlight organizations around the world that are fighting climate change. CNN International seeks to showcase young people in their efforts to build a sustainable society, and they have asked organizations around the world to coordinate an event of climate action for November 10th.
