In an effort to improve the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve, the nonprofit Friends of Los Angeles River (FoLAR) had to cancel a volunteer event due to expected rain. The event, which was set to draw 500 volunteers to remove invasive plants and trash from the land, has been a crucial part of the ongoing restoration project in the San Fernando Valley. The monthly volunteer days, sponsored by FoLAR, the California Native Plant Society, and the San Fernando Valley Audubon Society, aim to protect the health of the reserve by removing non-native species and weeds.
The Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve was originally envisioned as a natural habitat for birds and small animals in the flood-prone areas of the basin. The long-term goal is to restore habitats along the 51-mile Los Angeles River, which starts in the San Fernando Valley and ends in Long Beach. Despite the setback of the cancelled event, the organizations involved remain dedicated to their mission of environmental restoration in the area.
