We plan on networking with all of the stakeholders of the Lower Topanga area to insure that all of the concerns of this vast community are addressed and incorporated into the park plan.
We will reach out using the internet (one of the greenest forms of outreach!), various social networking. like minded projects and community websites to inform and inspire involvement.
The projects below share values and components of our park. We draw upon them for ideas and inspiration. The work that they have done in their respective communities illuminates the ways in which we can create change here in Los Angeles.
As an organization, it is vital that we set goals and keep ourselves on task. To the right, you can see our projected timelines for when different phases of the Lower Topanga Eco-Arts Park project will happen.
If you have some ideas about any of them, please contact us and get involved!
