LA River Ranger

Pilot Program

The LA River Ranger Pilot Program is a partnership made possible by the Conservation Corps of Long Beach, the Watershed Conservation Authority (WCA), and the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy (RMC). The Program provides job training for young adults ages 18-26 through the Conservation Corps of Long Beach.

Mission of the Program

The mission of the LA River Ranger Pilot Program is to foster connections between communities, agencies, and resources to promote safe, equitable usage and stewardship of the LA River and its tributaries as an activated and connected greenway that supports ecological, social, and recreational opportunities.

Who are the River Rangers?

The River Rangers are young adults ages 18-26 who are Corpsmembers of the Conservation Corps of Long Beach. They are gaining key job training skills that can lead to gainful employment.

The Program focuses on approximately eight miles of Los Angeles River in the REACH Zone at the LA and Rio Hondo Confluence. The cities served along this corridor included Lynwood, Cudahy, Paramount, South Gate, Downey, and Bell Gardens.
