Friends of Moon Canyon

  Volunteers spent the afternoon weeding, watering, planting, and mulching to help the newest additions take root. Small, steady efforts like these are what keep the canyon's restoration moving forward.

Torrential rainfall is becoming the norm in Southern California. The need for both more groundwater and urban resilience requires us to slow, spread, and sink runoff, rather than directing it to the storm drain. Using Permaculture practices can store water in the ground where plants can access it. This has the triple benefit of wildfire resistance, soil retention, and water protection. 

Thank you to everyone who came out for the 2025 Planting event. It was a warm, sunny day and a wonderful turnout. Every plant in the ground brings Moon Canyon a little closer to a healthy native landscape. Photo by Brianna Amore
