Everyone in Los Angeles has seen the LA River, and has heard that it’s being revitalized. But who knows where it is, exactly–and what
exactly is happening on its banks?
The Friends of the LA River tours take you to current and planned
restoration sites. Come walk, drive, and lunch along the LA River, as
we talk about its central role in the city’s past and the necessity of
its comeback to LA’s future.
