Urban Orchard Community Tour

Join the Safe Clean Water Program for a youth-focused community tour of the Urban Orchard in South Gate. About the Tour Urban Orchard turned seven acres of former industrial land between the LA River and the 710 freeway into a park that captures and cleans stormwater, grows fruit for the community, and offers green jobs for local youth, among other community benefits. This tour is hosted in partnership with the City of South Gate, Conservation Corps of Long Beach, and Trust for Public Land, the team that made the project happen. Students, youth groups, and anyone curious about how projects like this get built are welcome. No background in water or the Safe Clean Water Program needed. What We'll Explore Who Should Attend? Open to everyone, with a focus on youth and community members from the Lower LA River watershed. Space is limited, so please register. Good to Know ---------- Questions?
