With its 51-mile ecosystem that connects so many of our neighborhoods to each other, the LA River is a not-so-hidden gem of our region. For over 30 years, Friends of the LA River and our partners have worked to get the River to the People and the People to the River. We envision a dynamic, verdant LA River that supports vulnerable communities in climate adaptation, reduces flood risk, cleans the air, cools temperatures, and supports the biodiversity essential to our collective well-being.
