Amigos de los Rios
We are creating the "Emerald Necklace" natural infrastructure network of green spaces, river greenways, green schools, parks, and trails for underserved Los Angeles Basin communities. Our vision is to connect the "mountains to the sea," provide equitable nature access, and protect our environment and urban communities from climate change threats.

Amigos de los Rios requests LA2050 support for the Emerald Necklace Watershed Stewardship Program to plant and care for the Emerald Necklace San Gabriel and Rio Hondo River Greenways, schools, and parks across urban eastern Los Angeles County with community participants. We will host 50 hands-on weekend greening events at priority sites throughout our Emerald Necklace natural infrastructure network to empower youth to respond to climate challenges, protecting environmental and public health by restoring nature to blighted urban spaces.
