Based on the success of "Call to Action #1," and with the eminent need for action to help restore the charred Griffith Park; LA City Nerd is asking the people of Los Angeles to get involved, roll up their sleeves, and help get Griffith Park back on its feet.
True, fire is a natural occurrence that moves the cycle of nature, but there are some areas and trails that will need to be replanted and stabilized. The plans aer not clear, but stay tuned - we'll need your help.
In the next weeks, a more formal call to action will be issued to rally the troops in an effort to allow people to enjoy the newly defined natural areas of Griffith Park. Let's hope you are one of those who will stand up and be counted to support America's largest municipal park, "the People's Park" (as Tom LaBonge calls it).
Stay tuned...

I want to make a difference! Griffith Park is valuable to me personally since this is where I first discovered my 11-yr old son's awe for nature. Tell me how I can help. I live around the area so I am willing to donate time to help rebuild the park.
Does Griffith Park have any natural body of water? Such as a small stream or river, pond or small lake? If not it can sure use one. Perhaps it would be nice if any future planning of the park would include the construction of an artificial lake or pond for fishing or swimming or even boating. I would perfer it to be natural but hey artificial is alright as long as it exists. Maybe it can be connected to the nearby L.A. River or Hollywood Reservoir by a small stream.
Count me in! Those charred hills are some of the reasons we chose to move 1,100 miles to this very neighborhood. - Atwater Village Newbie
Someone should be rounding up donations of tools, someone who knows how to do rehabilitation of the hills, donation of water and food for the volunteers....
However be prepared to get super dirty, all those ashes. Wear sun protection and find out there are many chiefs but few workers...
