“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Studio City Greenway: The River Project continued to maintain relationships with and field questions from stakeholders, and participate in meetings between local government and others to determine a path forward. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Feasibility Study for Restoration of the Los Angeles River and Tributaries through Sepulveda Basin: The River Project finalized our study exploring the technical feasibility of restoring hydrodynamic and ecosystem function to the waterways within the Sepulveda Flood Management Basin in the San Fernando Valley. The study shows significant potential to recharge local groundwater, mitigate regional flood risk, expand habitat and biodiveristy, sequester carbon emissions, and increase cultural and recreational opportunities for disadvantaged communities. The River Project was asked to present the study to dozens of stakeholders, agencies, and elected officials OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Fire Resilience in Sepulveda Basin - The River Project partnered with the Resource Conservation district of the Santa Monica Mountains and Balance Hydrologics to develop a Wildfire Resilient Habitat Plan for the Sepulveda Basin, building on our recently completed Feasibility Study for Restoration on the Los Angeles River in the Sepulveda Basin, to protect wildlife, neighboring communities, and site visitors from the impcts of wildfires.”
