Central Arroyo Restoration Blossoms
Construction has now been completed on the parking lot improvents near Brookside Park that are part of ASF's 'Central Arroyo Stream Restoration Project. Work continues on the stream improvements in the area beneath the three bridges south of the Rose Bowl. The Central Arroyo Stream Restoration Program (CASRP) has been developed by the Arroyo Seco Foundation (ASF) in partnership with the City of Pasadena. CASRP aims to improve stream habitat & water quality. Located within the Arroyo Seco Watershed, the Central Arroyo Seco subwatershed begins immediately below Devil’s Gate Dam and terminates at the Colorado Street Bridge crossing.
This is a period of heightened concern about water, so what better time to view an awesome web tour of the importance and majesty of water! "Water: H2O=Life," presented by the American Museum of Natural History with help from the Tamarind Foundation is an exciting exhibition about the vital element in all its power, beauty and glory.
Thanks, Andy!

A New Arroyo Gem
The Arroyo Seco Foundation and the California Art Club have proposed a bold and inspiring concept for the Desiderio Army Reserve Base located at the base of the Colorado Street Bridge. The two groups have presented a plan for a museum, art training institute and a watershed center. The proposal links two central elements of the grandeur of the Arroyo: art and the environment.
