Welcome to 2026!

FoGP volunteers will be doing something different for the first event in Griffith Park. We’ve never really addressed this area before, so…

Parking Lot #9 is at the top of Fern Dell and this area gets lots of traffic due to the fact it’s the only parking lot in the immediate area. It also gets a fair amount of trash.

We”ll be focusing on two areas – invasive weed removal at the entry and then mulch placed to control weeds and rejuvenate plants during hotter months (later in the year).

We really hope to see a slew of folks come out to help this area get a bit of love for the new year!

REMINDER TIME: Please dress comfortably… old clothes, comfy shoes, plus a hat and sunscreen. If you have gloves, bring them, although we do have gloves on hand. We’ll provide tools and water (if you bring a bottle, you’re welcome to refill).

In order to work in the Park per LA Rec and Parks (RAP), a VOLUNTEER FORM (note: this form can be filled out on your computer) is required. Fill out the form, and either email it back to rossarnold1213@gmail.com, or bring the completed form to the event.

Already completed a form? Great! Just sign-in when you arrive at the site!

Get ready, get set, join the fun and continue to celebrate the uniqueness of Griffith Park!

If you have free time on Wednesday mornings, we have a crew that spends time in different areas, removing plants like this… if you would be interested in joining, please contact bettinaboxall@gmail.com

For those unfamiliar, this is a castor bean plant, and while quite lovely, it’s highly invasive in Griffith Park
