Friends of the Los Angeles River (FOLAR) has spent over 30 years bringing the river to the people and the people to the river. With the goal of restoring community connection to the LA River, FOLAR has been the largest unifying force educating, empowering, and mobilizing over 50,000 Angelenos to repair habitat and fight for the policies that will reclaim our collective right to a healthy, thriving, and equitably accessible LA River. Mission We build capacity for communities, students, and future leaders to advocate for nature, climate, and equity on the Los Angeles River. Vision We envision a verdant Los Angeles River that supports vulnerable communities in climate adaptation. The river will be transformed into a dynamic, functioning ecosystem that reduces flood risk, cleans the air, cools temperatures, and supports the biodiversity essential to our collective wellbeing. Equity Statement The LA River traverses through diverse communities of people, plants, and geographies.
