Join Jason "Journeyman" Wise at the LA River for an autumn sunset plant walk! The Los Angeles River was once a wild and diverse ecosystem but was cemented over in the name of civic progress, removing the plants and animals that once thrived in this region. Luckily for us though, Mother Nature saved a few pockets of nature that refused to be tamed. Join us as we explore one of the few "soft bottom" areas of the River, learning about the balance indigenous people had with the river, how colonizers attempted to tame it, the signs of both we are able to observe today, and the potential for a new beautiful future where the nature and people are both able to thrive around LA's secret gem of wilderness. There are tons of birds and river plants in this section. And numerous deciduous native trees that will hopefully be giving us some beautiful fall colors right around this time.
