DAY OF SERVICE ON THE L.A. RIVER EVENT, APRIL 30, 2011

The Village Gardeners observe Mayor Villaraigosa's and the City of Los Angeles', Day of Serice on the Los Angeles River Event with an L.A. River restoration event in their adopted 1/2 mile section of the L.A. River in Studio City and Sherman Oaks, CA. During The Village Gardeners' event, volunteers from the community swept the streets along the river, cleared the catch basin covers, provided tree care maintenance to native trees, removed invasive, non-native plant species and mulched around the native plants to restore the soil and to retain moisture over the long summer ahead. Special thanks to Mayor Villaraigosa and the City of Los Angeles for the funding for supplies and materials for the event and to the volunteers for their hard work!
