HONOREES

This year, we are proud to honor the following who have helped us fulfill our mission to champion environmental stewardship and preserve the Ballona Wetlands.

  • Parks Project Guiding Principles

    Ten years ago we witnessed firsthand the environmental challenges facing our parklands, so we rolled up our sleeves to volunteer and pitch in to restore the habitat. Since the we've grown into a global movement, partnering with numerous park conservancies and completing countless parks projects with habitat restoration emerging as our signature endeavor. Our vision is to live in harmony with our environments and create a world where we heal the parks and the parks also heal us in return.


THANK YOU TO OUR GENEROUS SPONSORS
