Central Basin headquarters in Commerce.

At Central Basin headquarters, we’re excited about our new-and-improved landscaping, which got underway this week. Our site is being redesigned to transform our current water-intensive landscaping into a garden that’s drought-tolerant and filled with California-friendly plants. We’re committed to water conservation, and we think this garden will be a great way to demonstrate it. It will also be a huge money-saver for the District because of the lower watering and landscape maintenance costs.

It’s our pleasure to be working with the fantastic youth from the Los Angeles Conservation Corps (LACC) here at our headquarters, who are helping us out with our new garden. LACC empowers at-risk youth through various conservation projects, and is the largest non-profit conservation corps in the country.

If you visit us in the next few weeks, please forgive us—our garden may be under construction for a while, but it will be beautiful soon. Check back for pictures of our progress and watch our garden grow!
