This week NBCU Volunteers in Los Angeles returned to Aberdeen Canyon in Griffith Park to plant 50 trees and remove invasive weeds, as part of a long-term commitment with NBCU Foundation grantee Los Angeles Conservation Corps and the City of Los Angeles Recreation and Parks. More than 60 employees were joined by Ron Meyer, Lauren Zalaznick, and L.A. Councilmember Tom La Bonge.
"I truly appreciate everyone's commitment to the environment on such a beautiful November day," said Zalaznick. "You can really see the direct impact of our efforts, even in the short three years since this canyon was so terribly damaged by fire. Everyone should be very proud of their continued hard work."

Ron Meyer and Lauren Zalaznick present LA Conservation Corps with an NBC Foundation check for $25,000 to support LACC's Outdoor Adventure Program, which will allow experiential learning activities for 500 11- to 24-year-olds.
NBCU Volunteers dug, unpotted trees and planted them securely while LA Conservation Corps workers helped.
Excited NBCU Volunteers can't wait to get started!
