Join the WiLD CiTY Adventure
WiLD CiTY is an immersive workshop series centered on connecting our community with the beautiful and sometimes surprising nature that exists throughout Los Angeles and beyond.
During our Fall 2025 series, participants will be invited to discover and better understand nocturnal invertebrates crawling within the Santa Monica Mountains; connect with their inner poet while hiking through unique urban hillsides; and dive into the otherworldliness of astronomy, gazing into the stars that are ever present above our city. Join one or all of our workshops this season! Read more about each workshop and purchase our tickets at the link below.
- Workshop I: Not-So-Creepy Crawlers | Oct. 18th | 6-8pm | Paramount Ranch
- Workshop II: Hiku | Nov. 22nd | 9-11am | Amir’s Garden in Griffith Park
- Workhop III: City of Stars | Dec. 13th | 6-8pm | Location TBD
Trippet Ranch Tree Care
We need your help to heal the wildlands of the Santa Monica Mountains.
During the Palisades Fire, we lost many previously planted oak trees within Trippet Ranch of Topanga State Park. Our team is now ready to invite volunteers back into this fragile space and begin the process of healing this invaluable woodland.
