Trails to Recovery: From Ashes to Action
Trails to Recovery fosters community collaboration in restoring public recreation spaces damaged by the January 2025 fires. The project will equitably engage residents 18 and older of Altadena, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, and Malibu in paid trail restoration work. Trails to Recovery will provide hands-on, nature-based learning including trail repair, plant identification and ecological resiliency. The experience will be documented via field photography for visual storytelling. This innovative opportunity provides healing through rebuilding.
