Ballona Wetlands Restoration

Agency: Ballona Wetlands Land Trust

Description: Once a month, L.A. Works volunteers support conservation efforts at the Ballona Wetlands. Volunteers help remove non-native plants and trash throughout the wetlands, and are then invited to go on an eco-tour offered by local biologists and ecologists. Volunteers work alongside youth from GoEcoKids, a nonprofit partner dedicated to providing local youth a conduit toward helping their environment.

Ballona Wetlands Land Trust is a non-profit community organization dedicated to the acquisition, restoration and preservation of the Ballona Wetlands, the only remaining coastal wetlands in Los Angeles County.

Special Note: Volunteers should wear pants, a long-sleeved shirt and closed-toe shoes. Please bring water, gloves and sun protection.

Age Requirement: Volunteers for this project must be at least 5 years of age.

Minors: Any volunteer under the age of 18 will need to bring and have signed by a parent/guardian a Volunteer Agreement & Release for Minors. Volunteers under 13 years of age will also need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian.

Federal Law prohibits volunteers under the age of 13 from registering on-line. To sign up a family member under the age of 13, sign yourself up and then email the project leader directly to let her/him know. Or, form a family volunteer team, include your children as team members, and then sign your team up for the project.

Accessibility: L.A. Works firmly believes that we strengthen the social fabric of our community by involving all in service. If you feel you need accommodations to participate in this project please email us at info@laworks.com.

* This project is managed by L.A. Works for our nonprofit partner and is led by a trained volunteer Project Leader. L.A. Works is a nonprofit, volunteer action center that creates and implements hands-on community service projects throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
