In the wake of the Eaton Fires, our local trees need your help. We’re offering watering assistance for Altadena’s homeowners to protect and preserve our community canopy. By signing up, you give permission for our trained team to visit your property and water your trees.

Amigos de los Rios is an Altadena Based 501c3 urban greening non-profit that has served the community since 2003. Our office was destroyed in the Eaton Fire, many of our staff have been impacted by fire damage & loss and we have been very concerned about the tremendous loss of trees though out our community. We believe it is critical to protect the remaining trees in our Altadena Community by watering them over the hot summer months to help them survive.
As such we have started a program to help all families provide summer water to their trees.

We are working hard to raise grant funds for this endeavor. Support us by donating to this effort or volunteering with us.

Our Mission

Amigos de los Rios is working to create the Emerald Necklace: a natural infrastructure network of green spaces, green schools, parks, and trails throughout under-served communities in the Los Angeles Basin. We are connecting the mountains to the sea, helping to provide equitable access to nature, and protecting our environment and urban communities from the threats of climate change.
