Here's a great way for you to get involved in protecting and restoring the environment.
You can beautify your yard and promote biodiversity at the same time. We propagate native trees and plants, pot up seedlings, and propagate beautiful gardens. We would love to teach you how
Native plants -- like oaks, willows, laurel sumac, buckwheat and scores of other species -- are vital to the Arroyo stream and to our local environment. They provide the habitat and conditions for wildlife and a healthy ecosystem. You will be able to learn about these plants and their importance in preserving and enhancing our communities and the environment. You'll learn the importance of stewardship and "giving back," while you watch your plants grow and thrive.
This kind of stewardship is the path to preserve the past and to ensure a future of healthy land, water and air for current and future generations. And it's a lot of fun and very rewarding.
Come share in this great program.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Arroyo Seco Alliance is to preserve and enhance the Arroyo Seco from the San Gabriel Mountains to the Los Angeles River, reforest our region, and promote environmental and cultural awareness of one of Southern California's greatest natural resources.
Description
The Arroyo Seco Alliance (ASA) is dedicated to protecting and promoting the Arroyo Seco watershed. ASA advocates an integrated, harmonious approach to watershed and flood management, water conservation, habitat enhancement as well as the expansion of recreational opportunities. Through action projects, recreation, and environmental awareness activities, ASA strives to involve the residents and organizations in our region in this tremendous enterprise. ASA works to reforest the Arroyo Seco, the San Gabriel Mountains, and the neighboring urban landscape with native shrubs and trees.
The activities of the Arroyo Seco Alliance enable local residents and businesses to become directly involved in the restoration of the Arroyo Seco and in the recreational and environmental opportunities available
Major Projects include:
- Arroyo Seco Watershed Restoration -- This comprehensive approach to mountain and urban watershed management is a partnership of ASA and the many organizations of the Council of Arroyo Seco Organizations (CASO).
- Tours and Educational Events -- ASA offers a variety of types of tours of the Arroyo Seco and a series of educational programs about the habitat, culture and history of the Arroyo Seco.
