Harvard Grad School on LA River -- This coming Tuesday Jan. 22 at 10 A.M. at the Los Angeles River Center 570 W. Ave. 26 just north of downtown L.A., Friends of the Los Angeles River invites you to take part in the presentation and discussion of a study by the Harvard Graduate School of Design's Landscape Architecture Department of the Los Angeles River through downtown. Funded by a major grant from the MRCA, the Sponsored Studio spent four months studying the river and the riverfront from the Arroyo Seco four miles south to the city limits at Vernon, perhaps the most intractably industrial and inaccessible stretch of the entire river. The results incorporate housing, schools, parks, roads, bike trails, commerce, industry riparian restoration and much more, a blue print for revitalization of both downtown and the East Side. We urge you to join us for the session and help shape this effort to bring the Los Angeles River greenway to the heart of the city. | |

Arroyo
restoration presentation set
A vision for environmental restoration of the Arroyo Seco will be presented at a meeting of the Sierra Club-Pasadena Group at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 2 at the Eaton Canyon Nature Center, 1750 N. Altadena Dr., Pasadena. Eileen Takata, conservation planning coordinator for North East Trees, and Tim Brick, a director of the Arroyo Seco Foundation, will give an illustrated program, "Balancing Recreation and Habitat Restoration in Pasadena's Arroyo Seco.' Their program will focus on implications for Pasadena of the Arroyo Seco Watershed Restoration Feasibility Study, a cooperative project of North East Trees and the Arroyo Seco Foundation. The study's purpose is to develop an environmentally sensitive and sustainable plan to manage and restore all of the 46-square-mile Arroyo Seco watershed, stretching from the San Gabriel Mountains to the stream's confluence with the Los Angeles River. The watershed study was released in May as the city of Pasadena was releasing its Master Plan and Draft Environmental Impact Report for the six miles of the Arroyo Seco within Pasadena. The city's plan will be reviewed by city agencies and eventually go before the Pasadena City Council for decision. |

The Arroyo Seco & Visions for its Renewal Sponsored by Pasadena & Foothill AIA CALENDAR http://aiapf.org/cm.htm FIRST FRIDAY FORUM Brookside Country Club, Madrid Room 1133 Rosemont Avenue, Pasadena 7:30 am 1 AIA Learning Unit FORUM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC - Welcome! You must provide your AIA Number to receive 1 Learning Unit AIA pre-paid $12 Buffet (prix fixe) all others $15 at the door There is a tenuous line between controlling nature and destroying it. Ironically, many of the natural attributes that first drew a westward migrating population to settle in southern California have been lost or destroyed as a consequence of the success of the resulting civilization. Now, more that 60 years after the Arroyo Seco was tamed, there is a growing desire to unleash nature and allow a little chaos back into the equation. The Arroyo Foundation in conjunction with Northeast Trees and the San Gabriel Streams Watershed Council have developed a study outlining how local, state, and federal agencies can partially restore the 22-mile-long Arroyo Seco and its tributaries to a more natural state, while still providing protection from periodic flooding. The plan argues that in addition to restoring habitat areas within the 46-square-mile Arroyo Seco watershed, there is an opportunity to create additional recreational areas. Our October 4th First Friday Forum will provide the authors and proponents of the Arroyo Seco Master Plan an opportunity to discuss their plan with Chapter members and guests. More information about the plan is available on the Arroyo Seco Foundation web site at: www.arroyoseco.org/Watershedstudy.htm RSVP is now required 2 days in advance- mailto:director@a... Or call the Chapter office at 626-796-7601 |
