Arroyo Seco Foundation
Invite reviews
The Arroyo Seco Foundation has made a positive footprint on our Arroyo Seco River these past 20 years and I am certain they will continue to do the same for the next 20 years. The Foundation does a great job of educational outreach through its speakers and school art programs.The theme is an all important one: to protect and preserve our natural watershed system which includes one of the last natural alluvial fans in Southern California. The message has been reaching people all over the San Gabriel Valley. That's 4 Stars.

One thing I'd also say is that...
if the Foundation had more funding, I'm certain they could build a strong program that can even involve paid internships for college-bound and/or college students in the area of watershed management.

The ASF website starts out great with a logo with style - has a craftsman architecture that's just right for Pasadena. The next thing I notice is that it's current. Most site's have the look of last week's newspaper or worse. But ASF is up to the minute and that takes a lot of dedication to maintain. And finally it's got just the right balance of value and plea. All causes constatntly need maoney, but when all they do is cry out for help, it's just another shout in the wind. This website says "Here's what happening, here's what we're doing and this is why we deserve your support." That's more like it.

The only organization dedicated to the entire Arroyo Seco Watershed, from the headwaters in the San Gabriel Mountains following the Arroyo Seco stream through the urban landscapes of Pasadena and Los Angeles to the confluence with the LA River. Arroyo Seco Foundation is the one-stop website for issues that define this region, environmental to recreational to historical and cultural.
