  The Metropolitan Water District, the LA Conservation Corps and the Audubon Center at Ernest E. Debs Regional Park partnered to create Children's Woodland Native Garden at the Los Angeles park. The water conservation-learning garden teaches school-aged children about outdoor water savings, local habitat and storm water capture.

WHERE:

Children's Woodland Native Garden at Debs Park, 4700 Griffin Ave., Los Angeles
 

VISUALS:

Cedillo and Rowe will be joined by Cozmo, the LA Galaxy mascot, and the LA Galaxy Star Squad as part of the festivities, which will include a bird show, soccer skills challenge with boys and girls from local youth soccer teams, and water conservation activities.
 

BACKGROUND:

A collaboration between Metropolitan, the LA Conservation Corps and the Audubon Center at Debs Park, the Children's Woodland Native Garden is an outdoor educational classroom for children to learn about water conservation, as well as the history of the Arroyo Seco region. Along with native, California Friendly landscaping, the garden features an authentic hut and mural created and installed by the Gabrielino-Tongva Tribe.
 
Brian Rowe serves as Metropolitan's water-saving brand ambassador as part of the district's partnership with Major League Soccer's LA Galaxy. Rowe currently promotes conservation in a public service message video shown as part of Galaxy home games and other in-stadium messaging.

The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California is a state-established cooperative of 26 cities and water agencies serving nearly 19 million people in six counties. The district imports water from the Colorado River and Northern California to supplement local supplies, and helps its members to develop increased water conservation, recycling, storage and other resource-management programs.
