Councilmembers Tom LaBonge and Ed Reyes helped the Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) kick off its 20th Annual River CleanUp today. Eight hundred students, including those from Thomas Starr King and Bancroft middle schools in Council District 4, joined the effort to collect and sort trash, test water and identify river plants.
"The revitalization of the Los Angeles River will bring tremendous new vitality to our City," said Councilmember LaBonge. "Thank you for helping in this important effort."
