Through your donations, we are continuing the fight to protect the 16 acres of green open space along the L.A. River at Weddington. Save LA River Open Space has been protecting this area since 2004. We need your help more than ever.

We have retained a well known environmental legal firm to help us prevent these 16 acres of green space from becoming a private school sports complex with a concrete and plastic jungle. We are dedicated to preserving the mature tree canopy and protecting the open spaces we have... but we can't do it without your help! Every donation counts, no matter how small. Let's work together to keep our city green and our spirits high! (NIH.gov green space and health study here)
