Volunteer Day at LAFD Station 76, May 19, 2024 – 9 am to 1pm

The LAFD Station 76 committee has completed terracing the backyard area of 76s and done an initial planting of fruit trees, vegetables and created a patio and fire pit area for the crew to enjoy outdoor meals and meetings, and will be having an outdoor open house, hopefully in June, if the rain finally stops! The front yard, as well as the back area,  needed gopher removal and weeding. We also removed all the grass and replaced with decomposed granite and xeroscape including olive trees and agave in the front yard. The neighbor assisted by removing a rubber tree that was dying and falling towards 76s. So for the final stage we need volunteers to do some weeding and planting of more fruit trees.  We have a volunteer day planned for May 19th and would like to ask that you request your board and your community for volunteers. We likely need 10. I will be doing the same with HUNC for a June date for the front yard, which they helped fund.

If you have time please let me know when you would like to visit the station, it is a complete transformation for less than $70,000 which was raised with the community, City, County, HOAs, Universal, and our generous NCs.  I am very proud of how beautiful it looks.

Best,
