If you haven’t gotten your hands dirty at one of Friends of the Los Angeles River clean-ups, now is your chance. I participate most years, and you get to meet like-minded people, as well as pull all kinds of crazy gunk out of the LA River. Here are this year’s dates:

Saturday, April 15 | 9 a.m. – noon | Upper River

‎Saturday, April 22 | 9 a.m. – noon | Mid River‎

Saturday, April 29 | 9 a.m. – noon | Lower River‎

The website has much more information, as well as the paperwork you’ll need to fill out. In the meantime, enjoy some sitar music (bottom of page) from a few years back to help you make up your mind to participate!

See you on the river, Jim Burns
