Los Angeles Basecamp

Local Hive of Positive Change

Overview

Roots & Shoots groups are working to affect change, right here in Los Angeles. Local groups are fighting food insecurity, planting native gardens, and protecting wild spaces. The Los Angeles Roots & Shoots Basecamp supports Roots & Shoots groups by providing mentorship, resources, and facilitating collaborations with local environmental and community organizations. Individuals or groups are encouraged to get in touch to learn more about starting a Roots & Shoots project.
