Join the Neighborhood Council Sustainability Alliance for their third annual lawn to habitat transformation. They will be transforming a water-hungry, monoculture grass lawn on a multifamily property into a biodiverse habitat zone that captures rainwater, reintroduces threatened native plants to the neighborhood, and supports pollinators and the web of life in their local ecosystem over the course of two days to make Los Angeles a #SpongeCity.
They have roles for all kinds of volunteers, from those interested in digging in the dirt and planting plants to those who prefer to chat with the public about the importance of this project. Volunteers will have an opportunity to learn about reconditioning compacted soil, creating eco-friendly weed barriers, determining soil type, mulching, planting techniques and establishment care for California native plants, water capture design options, and much more.
