Today in Council, I was proud to congratulate the Los Angeles Conservation Corps on 40 years of service to our city.
Clean, well-maintained neighborhoods don’t happen by accident. They are the result of people showing up every day and doing the work.
In Council District 4, the Los Angeles Conservation Corps is an indispensable partner. Just last year, crews made up of young Angelenos cleaned more than 1,000 streets, maintained 554 trees, removed 2,600 illegally dumped items, and cleared 347,000 pounds of litter from our neighborhoods. Those numbers represent safer, cleaner, and more welcoming public spaces that residents see and feel every day.
Our office is proud to support CD4-funded LACC teams, whose work includes illegal dumping cleanup, overgrown vegetation removal, sidewalk pressure washing, and beautification projects across the district. The before-and-after photos tell the story better than I ever could.
What makes this partnership especially meaningful is that LACC is doing two important things at once: improving our neighborhoods and creating pathways into the workforce for young people. They are investing in the next generation while helping care for the communities we all call home.
Thank you to the Los Angeles Conservation Corps for four decades of service, stewardship, and commitment to Los Angeles.
