Last week's Spring Break camp was a great success. This annual celebration of Los Angeles nature was pulled off by six talented Arroyo Green Team members who volunteered their time. Every day at camp had a different theme: pollinators, birds, habitats, watershed and LA River and environmental stewardship.

Thursday was especially fun because the group took a field trip to the LA River and partnered with Stacey Villagon from LA Audubon who brought some of her students from the Greenhouse Intern Program. For many, this was their first time at the LA River. The group learned about the history and ecological importance of the River and former WINGS Intern Carlos Jagueri led a talk about waterbirds and birding on the river. On Friday the campers learned about how to take what they learned and take action to help nature. They helped to pull weeds at the Debs Park restoration site and made signs that will be posted at the Center with messages like: Plant Native Plants, Don't Pollute and Pick up Your Trash, Respect & Leave Wildlife Alone, etc. Thank you campers and Arroyo Green Team members!
