The Tujunga Garden of Resilience project continues the reMATRIation of the land with a new focus on restoring 200 feet of median in Tujunga over 2 community workdays (May 2nd and May 16th)
Why: Sunland–Tujunga is rebuilding what wildfire, heat, and neglect have stressed: healthy, native habitat that protects people and nature. LA Works and Sunland-Tujunga Forward are teaming up across three volunteer days to bring care back to a key community corridor—reviving a planted median so it can actually thrive again (and keep doing its job for the neighborhood).
Who: Sunland-Tujunga Forward (ST Forward) is a community-based organization rooted in local action—mobilizing neighbors to care for the land, strengthen climate resilience, and build a healthier, more connected Sunland-Tujunga. Their work brings people together to restore habitat, reduce wildfire risk, and protect the well-being of the community through practical, consistent stewardship.
What to Expect: This volunteer opportunity focuses on restoring and maintaining a planted median—bringing it back to life through hands-on stewardship.
You’ll help reset the space so native plants can rebound, and the median can function as a healthier, greener buffer for the community.
A welcoming, community-driven volunteer day with clear guidance on-site, outdoor work in the sun and open air—expect to get a little dusty
Tasks that are active but manageable (with breaks and teamwork), a real “before and after” feeling—you’ll see the impact of your effort
Typical work may include:
Removing invasive growth and weeds
Clearing light debris and improving planting areas
Tending and maintaining existing native plants (and planting if needed)
General “good neighbor” restoration work to help the space thrive long-term
