Water LA is organizing a workshop predominantly focused on youth groups who want to make an impact on changing LA's infrastructure to become more adaptive to our current climate crisis. On November 17th, the Water LA team is focusing on two nature-based solutions, rain grading and parkway basins, to help retrofit homes in Altadena. A lot of the strategies our program implements are simple, effective and work WITH nature to make a difference! Join us and don’t forget to RSVP: april@theriverproject.org
