Watershed Actions

There are many ways for residents to get involved in cleaning up LA’s rivers, creeks, lakes and oceans. Getting involved can be as simple as remembering to always pick up after your dog or as involved as volunteering with a local non-profit to clean up a local waterway or beach. Here are just a few ideas of how you can help reduce the amount of pollution flowing through our local rivers and creeks to our beaches.
