It’s time to roll up your sleeves and show your love for the LA River – the Great LA River CleanUp’s back for 2017! Registration is open now – join today and be part of the largest urban river cleanup in America.

Last year 9,000 volunteers shattered records at the 2016 CleanUp and hauled off more than 70 tons of trash. This year we’re going to tear up the record books again with another record-breaking CleanUp!

Located along the breathtaking Elysian Valley bike path, the Frog Spot is Friends of the Los Angeles River’s summer gateway to the L.A. River. The Frog Spot serves as a community gathering space, launch pad for River tours and trips, and an exciting performance venue.

Our upcoming Love the Neighborhood Initiative is going to be very exciting and our biggest one yet! This Saturday, November 5th we will be offering a special "Foothill Blvd Edition" of our Love the Neighborhood Initiative. "What does that entail?" you may ask; it is a collaborative effort between Sunland Foursquare Church, the STNC Safe Streets committee and the Neighborhood Watch to clean up and beautify the entirety of Foothill Blvd in Sunland-Tujunga. We will be holding a MyLA311 app training as well as a fun scavenger hunt using the 311 app to tag bulky items for pick-up/clean-up as we love the neighborhood together! Once again, we are expecting the greatest turnout ever and would love for you to be a part of this amazing movement that is tangibly and positively transforming our neighborhood!

Come Join neighbors and friends as we clean and Beautify West Hills on the north side of Roscoe Boulevard.

Meet at the corner of the northwest corner of Roscoe @ Sale near 8311 Sale Ave.

We’ll provide tools, trash bags and water. Please bring a hat, sunscreen and a smile as we work together to clean up our neighborhood!

Hope you can make it!

Join the STNC's BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE at our "CLEAN STREETS" community clean up event! Bring your hat, a gardening clipper from home and help us clean up Foothill Blvd. in the area around Sherman Grove Ave. and Scoville Ave. Please park in the 8343 parking lot. We are partnering with: the YMCA, LA Conservation Corp, Sunland-Tujunga Chamber of Commerce and Verdugo Hills High School students and Booster Club! 

Can't make it? Out of town? Have a disability? No problem! Please help out our community by engaging in the MyLA311 cell phone application to report as soon as you see it: Grafitti, illegal dumping, bulky items left on curbs or in alleys like mattresses or shopping carts! 
Thank you!

All residents, neighbors and families are invited to help us clean-up Grandee Ave. between 103rd St. and 95th st. in Watts!

The Glassell Park Improvement Association invites you to help clean up the Crestmoore Steps!

The “Flash Cleanup” idea is to give a short time--45 minutes--that won’t get in the way of our busy weekends. We come together, care for our community, finish and go. The more people who show up the more trash and weeds get cleaned up.

Please join us at the foot of the steps on Crestmoore Street off Verdugo Road, and don’t forget to bring your own sun protection, work gloves and water.

Contact Jim Kiehl to RSVP or to join our team for future clean ups.

Thank you to Councilmember Gilbert Cedillo’s office for their assistance with trash pickup after the event. We look forward to seeing you there!

Join us for our next cleanup project on 7/16/16, 8:00am-11:30am, at the intersection of Sherman Way Blvd & Asman Ave.., as we clear and clean Sherman Way free from weeds, trash, and debris. We'll provide tools, trash bags, and water. Please bring a hat and smile as we work together to cleanup our community.

Come Join neighbors and friends as we clean and beautify West Hills along Topanga Canyon Boulevard and Nordhoff Street.

Meet at the corner of Topanga Canyon @ Nordhoff.

We’ll provide tools, trash bags and water. Please bring a hat, sunscreen and a smile as we work together to clean up our neighborhood!

Location:

The Arroyo Seco Confluence is mostly concrete where the 5 and 110 Freeways intersect.  There are red-legged stilts on the concrete and swallows nest under the bridge.  Downtown Los Angeles is where it is because of this confluence – ditches or “zanja” were dug from the River to supply water to the Pueblo.

Located under the Pasadena Freeway is the Confluence of the Arroyo Seco and the Los Angeles River. In 1769, the Portola expedition’s Father Juan Crespi described this area as “very well lined with large trees, sycamores, willows, cottonwoods, and very large live oaks.” This concrete-lined site is just downstream from the natural-bottomed Glendale Narrows. You’ll see red-legged stilts in the shallow water and swallows flying overhead – you can find their mud nests under the bridge.
