Did you know that there is natural park at the LA River Center and Garden open to the public? This space is in the process of being revitalized. Mujeres de la Tierra is currently soliciting input from the community on how the park could be improved. #MujeresDeLaTierra #MRCA

Hiking in the winter time can be wondrous. The fresh smells and colors make hiking after a rainstorm very refreshing. Also, mushroom viewing and foraging is the best done shortly after a rainstorm. Be safe out there. #WinterHiking #MushroomForaging #HikingAfterRain #MRCA #SMMC
