About this Event
About the Site

The Sepulveda Basin, home to a beautiful wildlife reserve and a recreation area, is the River's first natural bottom section - a lush, green oasis in the middle of the San Fernando Valley. The Sepulveda Basin is a birdwatcher's delight - come here to observe Mallard ducks, Herons, Egrets, and even Orange Orioles migrating through the area. Whether taking a stroll through the nature preserve to see native California trees and plants or going on a summer kayak excursion, the Sepulveda Basin is sure to offer all Angelenos a respite from city bustle.

Join FoLAR in the Upper River to collect trash and prevent waste from polluting our watershed and flowing into the Pacific Ocean. Together, we’ll make a collective impact and do our part to tend to the vibrant urban ecosystems that thrive throughout our region.

CleanUp supplies (work gloves and trash bags), hand sanitizer, and a water station will be provided by FoLAR.

What to Wear & Bring

There are areas of this site where you may need to wade into the water in order to access the island that we’ll be cleaning, so wear sturdy, closed-toed shoes you don’t mind getting wet, or boots or water shoes if you have them. Don’t forget to wear sunscreen and a hat. We’re providing cleanup supplies, so all you need to bring is a reusable water bottle - we’ll have ice water available onsite.
