Join Clockshop to learn about local wildlife and aquatic species in the Los Angeles River Watershed! At the water’s edge, wildlife enthusiasts of all skill levels will learn about the species of the river, both native and nonnative, as well as thriving and locally extinct. Attendees will also have a chance to cast a line themselves, guided by Sam Reese, and Derek Yee will lead a gyotaku demonstration, a traditional Japanese method of printing fish. Facilitators will share the current status of the LA River and the forthcoming Bowtie Wetland Demonstration, a 3.5-acre stormwater filtration and habitat project by The Nature Conservancy.
