Amigos De Los Rios

Our mission is to create a regional emerald necklace of sustainable open "multi-benefit" network of open spaces along urban rivers corridors, parks and schools to connect the "mountains to the sea"-protecting the environment and public health while strengthening community life and responding to climate change challenges for the benefit of current and future generations. We are committed to designing quality public environments that revitalize urban neighborhoods within economically disadvantaged southern california communities. We believe that creating parks and trails, green school campuses and improving the built environment in metro los angeles is the best form of preventive health for urban residents: equitable access to recreation is a key factor in protecting the public health.
