Additional Explanations

Form 990, Part III, Line 4D: Other Program Services Description

“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Water LA Parkway Basin Project: Partnering with the County of Los Angeles to site, design, implement, monitor, and steward 30 Parkway Basins in the disadvantaged and climate-vulnerable communities of Florence-Firestone, Los Nietos, and Basset. The River Project completed installation of all 30 basins, continued in-situ monitoring, and supported ongoing community stewardship. In-field and in person community engagement was suspended during the pandemic lockdown. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Upper Los Angeles River Tributaries Plan: The River Project supported the Mountains Recreation Conservation Authority with community education and engagement to support the development of a plan for projects in disadvantaged neighborhoods along tributary corridors in the upper watershed. We completed the community education and engagement phase and provided technical expertise on the draft and final Plan documents. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Studio City Greenway: The River Project continued to maintain relationships with stakeholders while awaiting certain deliverables from the City's Department of Recreation and Parks. The pandemic lockdown necessitated indefinite deferral of the community charrette. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 7: OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8:”
