Urban Restoration and Advocacy
FOLAR was founded on the belief that effective advocacy, education, collaboration and imagination can accomplish great things. We know first-hand that urban restoration requires creativity, technical knowledge and tenacity - but also that our goals, whilw vast and visionary, are also undeniably attainable:1) Restoring the L.A. River's natural habitat2) Developing recreational and commuter bikeways, pedestrian paths and horse trails on the riverbanks; as well as places for canoeing and kayaking in the river.3) Applying flood-protection technologies that emphasize the restoration of a healthy ecosystem.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesAug 1, 2022 – Jul 31, 2023Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.3MProgram 1 [2024]
