About this Collection
The Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) is a non-profit, urban environmental organization, founded in 1986 and focused on saving, restoring, and reviving the Los Angeles River. FoLAR--with a board of directors, a technical advisory board, and a program that encompasses education, community organization, and political action--has advocated for an integrated 52-mile greenway and has stressed the need to address the 30 different governmental agencies that has each had some jurisdiction over the river. FoLAR records include documentation of activities that focus on protecting and restoring the natural and historic heritage of the Los Angeles River and its riparian habitat through inclusive planning, education, and wise stewardship. Included in the collection are correspondence, administrative records, research materials, photographs, maps, files relating to the various activities of the organization, including publications, advocacy and fundraising events, political and legal action, and publicity.
