Griffith Park's nomination for Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument status is gaining friends. The Federation of Canyon and Hillside Associations, an umbrella organization of 36 residential associations ranging from Glassell Park to Pacific Palisades has thrown its support behind the initiative. The Los Feliz Improvement Association, the city's oldest residential association and largest in the Griffith Park area, has voted unanimously to do the same. Starting next week, other community groups and associations including neighborhood councils, will consider endorsing the Griffith J. Griffith Family Trust's application. View information about the Park's historic significance and the application itself at:

WHAT: An ethnically diverse group of 2,000 volunteers unites to clean up the soft-bottomed Glendale Narrows section of the Los Angeles River. Southland community groups Heal the Bay, the Pacific American Volunteer Assn., the NAACP and Anahuak Soccer Assn. come together for a day of hands-on environmental stewardship and cross-cultural connection.
WHERE: Griffith Park Recreation Center, 3401 Riverside Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90027
WHEN: Saturday, June 14, 8:45-11:30 a.m.
WHY: The L.A. River is something we all have in common. Only if all communities work together will we be able to restore and revitalize California’s natural settings. The Los Angeles River faces threats from trash, pollution and overdevelopment. The willow-filled Narrows section is home to several animal species. It has become a community hub, serving as an oasis of tranquility in an otherwise urbanized setting of concrete and traffic noise.
MORE: All community members invited to participate. No experience or special tools required. Bring hat, sunscreen and drinking water. Instructions in English, Spanish and Korean.
CONTACTS: Matthew King, Heal the Bay, (310) 451-1500; Tiger Kang , PAVA, (213) 252-8290; x137; Vic Bulluck, NAACP, (323) 938-5268; Miguel Luna, Anahuak Soccer Assn., (818) 568-9139

Aside from the wilderness area itself, within Griffith Park are numerous buildings, structures and objects including the Griffith Observatory, the Hollywood Sign, the Greek Theater, and numerous examples of “Park Style” retaining walls, culverts, and channels built through federal assistance programs in the 1930s. Such resources and many others are recognized in this application as contributory to the historic significance of the Griffith Park itself.
The Griffith J. Griffith Charitable Trust selected architectural historians from the Los Angeles office of ICF Jones & Stokes to complete the HCM nomination.

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Friends of Atwater Village (“FAV”) has been working for years with L.A. City Council President Garcetti's office to try to get a park in Central or South Atwater Village. Recently the Council President met with Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (“SMMC”) to revisit a underdeveloped lot on Legion Lane as a possible site for a park.
Currently the property has a newly built never occupied two story house on it and a new road that could lead to two other homes if the privately owned project continues. SMMC looked at this site about 10 years ago but received neighborhood opposition so they took their dollars elsewhere. The climate of the neighborhood has changed and our hope is that we can gain the support of Atwater Village residents that we need to show SMMC that we will embrace the project.
Please join L.A. City Council President Eric Garcetti and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy this Saturday, May 3rd - 11:00am at 3781 Legion Lane (off of Sunnynook by the L.A. River) to discuss a potential park at this location and share your input and ideas for such a park.
If you cannot attend the meeting please email your thoughts to favboard@friendsofatwatervillage.org.
You can also see photos of the site at: www.flickr.com/photos/lopitos/sets/72157603828580400
TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND SMMC’S ROLE IN THIS PROPOSED PROJECT, PLEASE TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO VISIT SMMC WEBSITE www.smmc.ca.gov read their mission statement then click on to visit your parks so you can see what type of parks they build.
As a community we need to be realistic and stay within the realm of what they do which are mostly passive recreation nature parks. We can not expect SMMC to take care of all the ill's of the river (graffiti, gangs, drugs, homelessness) only maintain and patrol what they build. The problems that currently exist will still exist whether there is a park or homes built.
FAV hopes that you can attend the meeting and also spread the word so there will be a good turnout of residents. This may be our last chance in Central Atwater Village for a park as it is the only open lot left. The owner of the property is a willing seller, SMMC is interested and CD13 is behind the project so most of the components are there. There is no guarantee that the project will materialize but it's certainly worth exploring.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays this Spring, volunteers will be removing invasive plants that are quickly overgrowing the burn area. These invasive plants are competing with the native plants for light, water, and nutrients. The wildlife of Griffith Park need you to help the
native plants that provide their food, water, and shelter.
We will begin with a training about native and non-native plants in Griffith Park, so don't be late! If you have them, please bring your own gloves and/or pruners. A limited supply of gloves tools will be available (most work can be easily done by hand). Please make sure to wear long- sleeved shirts, long pants, and sturdy, closed-toed shoes.
You may also need sunglasses, sunblock, and a hat. For more information, or to arrange specific times, dates, parking, etc:

On January 30, 2008, 11 historic bridges over the Los Angeles River were designated as city Historic-Cultural Landmarks. While this ensures a role for the city's Cultural Heritage Commission in reviewing proposed widening and replacement projects, it does not prevent outright demolition. The fate of the bridges will remain a topic of debate for years to come.
To enlighten and educate in a fun, interactive way, the Los Angeles Conservancy, the Getty Conservation Institute (GCI), and Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) have joined forces to celebrate these bridges with two special events in April as part of "Spanning History: The Bridges of the Los Angeles River."

On Tuesday, November 27, 2007 FOLAR will be holding community forums at the River center regarding the Fletcher Corridor Pedestrian and Bicycle Access Improvements to the River. This will be a chance for community members to come out and provide feedback on some of the initial improvements being proposed.
A freshman member of the California Assembly, an executive from Warner Brothers, the chairman of the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) and one of the region’s conservation pioneers will be among those honored this October by the civic group that put the Los Angeles River on the map over 20 years ago.
Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) will host its sixth annual River Awards and Fiesta on Friday evening, October 19, 2007 at the L.A. River Center just northeast of downtown Los Angeles. The event is the group’s principal annual fundraiser; Councilmember Tom LaBonge will emcee the evening.
FoLAR is a non-profit organization founded by poet Lewis MacAdams in 1986 to protect and restore the natural and historic heritage of the Los Angeles River and its riparian habitat through inclusive planning, education and wise stewardship. What began as a dream about what many considered a “concrete ditch” is now the linchpin in L.A.’s urban ecology and environmental justice movement. Earlier this year, the City of Los Angeles adopted a Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan to guide urban planning along the River from downtown L.A. to the San Fernando Valley. The plan incorporates many ideas long advocated by FoLAR.
FoLAR is honoring six individuals who have contributed to the River’s revitalization:

Some of you may have heard about the abundance fish in the LA RIVER, others of you are probably still in disbelief that not only are there fish down there but also people are fishing for them. I will admit I am one of those fishermen.
I was raised in Atwater Village and still have family and friends here. My aunt Flora lived within a block of the river on Tyburn, so it was only natural as a kid with an older brother and cousins to spend time in the river, looking for snakes, frogs, tadpoles, crawdads and anything else that would float down river.
The River was an open air science lab; you could see the cycle of life, to see a tadpole turn into a frog was an amazing thing as child. My connection to the river goes back 30yrs. So, one day last summer, after living a few years in New York, while I was walking my dog along the river just south of the Tyburn pole I came across two guys fishing, and to my surprise they had a fish in their bucket. My cousin David told me people were fishing in the River, but until I saw it for myself I didn't believe it. I felt it my duty as a native of Atwater having lived on Petite Ct, Madera, Perlita and now La Clede to fish the River myself, and boy have I, I'm hooked. I've fished from the Los Feliz Bridge to the 110 & 5 freeway interchange.Continue reading "Atwater Village Fishing at the Los Angeles River" »

Last night at John Marshall High School, I met with families who had been evacuated and helped them get situated. The evacuation center was very well organized. When I arrived, there were about thirty-five people there, although it could have easily run at capacity (200). Some had brought pets: dogs and cats, some fish in plastic bags and, reportedly, a chicken. I ran into my friend Chad, who lives in Los Feliz; he wasn't sure if he was going to stay or not.
Shortly after midnight, I went with Tom LaBonge up to the Griffith Observatory. Tom's passion for Los Angeles in general and for Griffith Park in particular is well known--he tended Dante's View for decades, long before holding office. I've marveled to hear the depth of his knowledge of the park as he communicates to reporters exactly where the fire has been and what damage he's done. We spoke to firefighters who were exhausted after 12-hour shifts, slumped at picnic tables a few dozen feet from still-visible flames.
Councilmember LaBonge isn't alone in his love for Griffith Park, but I think he represents for many Angelenos the deep and emotional connection that we feel towards spaces. This morning, shortly before touring the back roads of the park, I spoke to a woman who had walked up from the neighborhood to the south. "This was my park," she said, through tears.
Tom and I started from Vista del Valle and wove through the devastated moonscape. We saw logs still smoldering and pockets of green that had been successfully protected.
Griffith Park is not lost, of course, but it is damaged. We'll rebuild it, where we can, and it will grow back lush and green. It's the single largest urban park in the country; few other parks compare to it in its size and wildness.
For now, we take our hats off to the emergency responders, from Los Angeles and from our neighboring cities under mutual-aid pacts, who are continuing to successfully protect life and property. We wish them speedy containment of this fire.
This year promises a "free, fun and exciting festival to celebrate our urban forest!" the mayor will attend. also confirmed are: actor antonio banderas, tabu from the black-eyed peas and other cast members of shrek 3.
There will be tree-climbing and tree-care demonstrations; live music; tree planting and compost workshops; free mulch; tree adoptions; a traveling tide pool; face painting; children's activities, etc. etc. learn how to green your community. support the trees that give us
beauty, cleaner air and shade.

CCSEP is seeking proposals to design and construct five Gateways into Elysian Park that will create a cohesive identity for this historical park.
Up to five artists, architects or designers (in teams or individually) from the Greater Los Angeles area will be selected to submit final Design, Construction, and Installation Proposals to the selection committee.
Elysian Park, the oldest park in Los Angeles, contains the last remaining parcel of Pueblo lands that were included in the original Spanish land grant from King Carlos of Spain over two centuries ago.
Project Goals
• Boldly define and enhance the five entrances to Elysian Park, several of which are highly visible and well-traveled.
• Remain sensitive to existing and surrounding topography.
• Provide a more cohesive awareness of the whole of Elysian Park through shared design elements. (Not all gateways need to be alike.)
• Each gateway design MUST contain the text Elysian Park and 1886.

Griffith Park is a natural refuge surrounded by an intense urban environment. It's characterized by extensive open space that connects people with the natural heritage of California, as well as the physical and cultural history of Los Angeles.
For more than 110 years, Griffith Park has existed as Los Angeles' great green, open space. Guidebooks rightly call the Park a "wilderness", "oasis," and "nature preserve" whose 4100 acres offer people an opportunity to recreate in a rustic environment. Griffith Park is the largest natural urban park in the Nation. Annually, Griffith Park offers more than 10 million visitors a wide choice of leisure pursuits. At the same time it functions as critical habitat for deer, bobcats, and other native animals and plants.
Despite the LA's runaway growth, the Park has managed to survive with many of its ecosystems intact. Until now...
An early morning in November hailed a moment of great change for LA River adjacent to Atwater Village. On November 15th and 16th, over 200 cubic yards of debris were hauled away from the River between Fletcher Drive and the Tyburn Waterpipe. The Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) and city Lot Clearing division worked hand in hand to accomplish this.
There were 43 professionals involved on the morning of the clean up made up of: ACE, LAPD, County Social Services, County Mental Health Services, Social Security Administration, LAFD swift water rescue, LAHSA, LA lot clearing Division, City Housing Department, Park Rangers, and this Office. Of the 20 or so individuals who had been living in the River at any given time, 7 had not vacated in advance of the action date. Of those 7, 3 individuals accepted assistance, including the ability to keep their dogs with them! My thanks to the County of Los Angeles for making exceptions for emergency shelter availability.
All parties are determined to keep the islands free of encampments. The LAPD will monitor daily and has stepped up, and gone above and beyond - as have all agencies involved in this effort.
A big congratulations also, to FAV, for the successful installment of the Acresite Gate, designed by the talented Brett Goldstone - whose art is visible more and more around Atwater Village.
All in all, the River is looking great as we round out 2006. With your help, 2007 will only bring more improvements (and hopefully more River Walks!).
Happy Holidays to all. Together we will make 2007 a great one.

Wednesday and Thursday of this week (11/17/2006) over 200 cubic yards of debris was hauled away from the River between Fletcher Drive and the Tyburn Water pipe. The Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) and L.A. city Lot Clearing division worked hand in hand to accomplish this. The waste was unbelievable and only validates for me, the fact this was the right thing to do.
There were 43 professionals involved Wednesday morning made up of: ACE, LAPD, County Social Services, County Mental Health Services, Social Security Administration, LAFD swift water rescue, LAHSA, LA lot clearing Division, City Housing Department, Park Rangers, and this Office. Of the 20 or so individuals who live in the River there at any given time, 7 had not vacated in advance of the action date. Of those 7, 3 individuals accepted assistance, including the ability to keep their dogs with them!
We thank the Los AngelesCounty for making exceptions for emergency shelter availability. A few people balked and stayed behind.
All parties are determined to keep the islands free of encampments. The LAPD will monitor this daily and has stepped up, and gone above and beyond as have all agencies involved in this effort have.
