57 new drought-tolerant trees along Foothill Blvd. between Marcus Ave. and Lowell Ave have been placed. These new trees will help create a more sustainable and vibrant community by providing shade, reducing energy needs, contributing to cleaner air, and beautifying our main corridor.  

In response to COVID-19, Los Angeles Beautification Team (LABT) in partnership with City Plants is offering limited free fruit and shade tree "virtual adoptions" for a Curbside Pickup.

LAPD's Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Watch invites you to a Zoom meeting: TUESDAY, July 7, 2020, 9:00AM – 10:00AM
LAPD SENIOR LEAD OFFICERS CALOCA AND CONTRERAS PRESIDING!

If you have an actual address to where the fireworks are coming from, or the identity of people selling them, please forward it to your LAPD Senior Lead Officer so they can do a follow-up at the residence. If you have a description of the individual(s) responsible, that’s even better, but not necessary.
You can also call the non-emergency number 877-ASK-LAPD (877-275-5273) for fireworks.
Also send an email to your Senior Lead Officer to make them aware of the location.

UPDATE: So far, 36 spaces of the 48 have been filled. Summer Play LA begins next Monday, July 6, so please share this post out again with your networks, for anyone who might be in need of free childcare.
