    Exciting access to a rich natural environment

    Few people know that in the middle of the San Fernando Valley one can find 2.5 miles of the LA River in a largely natural state, surrounded by 2,000 acres of wildlife reserves and recreation areas. Imagine a gateway to this area with an inspiring natural & cultural history interpretive center, a buzzing cafe & performance plaza, a protected avian nesting area & viewing platform, and the twinkling waters of a restored LA River tributary & native plant habitat - all just a few minutes walk from a stop on the Orange Line Busway. This is our goal.

    Building Environmental and Cultural Facilities to Nurture Future Generations of Community Leaders.
    Imagine a world where 50,000 middle & high school students (each year) have the opportunity to study habitat and watershed restoration, avian migration, the impacts of climate change and global warming, nutrition and sustainable food supply practices, Native American history and Indigenous knowledge – in a studies center situated in 2,000 acres of outdoor classrooms in the middle of one of the world’s largest cities. This is our goal.
