Today on World Rivers Day, we celebrate the bodies of water that flow through our communities and give them life. Rivers not only support the wildlife and vegetation that call them home, but they also support and connect the many different communities that live alongside them. That’s why this year at FoLAR’s River Fest celebration, we asked the question: Why are YOU a friend of the LA River? You can support FoLAR's K-12 education, volunteer events, and advocacy by following us on social media and sharing our updates with your community, registering for upcoming events, or by donating to directly support our work on the LA River 👇 Donation Page: https://folar.org/donate/ Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/friends-...

Join us as we hear stories and learn traditions of the original people that lived along the Los Angeles River and inhabited Southern California.
Learn about the impact FoLAR members are having on clearing up the LA River through community volunteer CleanUps. See what kind of trash we find in the River and understand the importance of the data we collect. Get involved and help make hands-on improvements to our local ecosystem!
Join us for a virtual tour of the LA River Rover, our mobile River museum! These lessons cover the past, present, and potential future of the LA River, and are great for Angelenos of all ages and backgrounds interested in learning more about our urban waterway.
