Ballona’s native plants need a helping hand... yours!

Register Here!

Roll up your sleeves to help beautify Ballona Discovery Park! Get hands-on experience while learning about urban ecology. The time and effort you put in to clear out invasive vegetation gives our slow-growing native plants room to thrive. Healthy plant life is vital for a healthy ecosystem!

Registration: Registration is required, register here. You must also sign the digital waiver.

Ages: Activities are recommended for ages 7 and up. Youths 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

What to wear: Close-toed shoes are required! We recommend dressing in weather-appropriate layers that you don’t mind getting a bit dirty, along with a hat. Long pants are also recommended to protect against occasional prickly plants.

What to bring: Face mask, gloves, and your own full water bottle (required). The nearest restroom is located just under a quarter mile west of the park, at the Sports Park. We cannot provide gloves at this time due to Covid-19. We will provide all other tools and supplies.

Arrive on time: This is a short event, so we will begin promptly.

Parking: Street parking on Bluff Creek Drive in front of the park, parking signs limit parking to 2 hours (the length of the event).

Covid-19 Protocols: Event participation is limited to 12 participants. Social distancing and masking are required.

Cancellations: For safety, we must cancel if it’s raining. Please check the weather before arriving. If you’re not sure, please call us or check our social media for cancellation announcements.

Thank you for volunteering with us.
We literally couldn’t do it without you!
