In celebration of Earth Day 🌎, which we honor every day of the year through our conservation efforts 🌿, the Brett Torino Foundation joined forces with 75-100 dedicated volunteers for the Lovell Canyon Clean-Up last Saturday. 

Together, we filled an entire extra-large dumpster with discarded furniture, mattresses, a water heater, and an abundance of glass, cans, bottles, and other waste. 

It's truly humbling to have so much help from the community to continue the work we began in 2017, enhancing the beauty of Lovell Canyon. Together, we've turned it from a neglected, crime-ridden, toxic site into a thriving, verdant oasis, cherished by hikers, bikers, and families seeking solace in its majestic, cooler high elevations. 

A heartfelt 💚 thank you to @saveredrock, our community allies and volunteers whose dedication made this event a resounding success.
