Conservation Corps of Long Beach

Sponsors make the magic happen! We're grateful for our partnership with that helps our Corpsmembers thrive through work and education. In addition, the project work we do with funding helps to address environmental issues in local communities. Thank you for participating with our 31st Annual Dine on Pine this month!

Our Shore Corps team joined to conduct a fish survey at the Golden Shore Ecological Preserve in Long Beach. Corpsmembers helped retrieve a seine net, learned to identify fish, and helped count the representative species in the Preserve. Conducting a fish survey prior to any work in an area is critical to getting a baseline understanding of the aquatic ecosystem to determine the potential impact of any disturbance in an area. Working with partners like Tidal Influence helps connect our corpsmembers with field experts and gain valuable field research skills.

Update on our progress at the first of six preschools! Our crews have begun to remove concrete and grass in order to begin the next steps of the playground renovation.

Recently, corpsmembers had the opportunity to learn all about urban water resilience and were introduced to the structure and function of water systems in Los Angeles, including how water is sourced, transported, and distributed across the region. This training highlighted the complexity of local infrastructure and the importance of conservation in a drought-prone environment. Corpsmembers engaged in discussions around the role of water systems in supporting communities and environmental sustainability to strengthen their understanding of our region and the role water plays in our everyday lives.

Tomorrow from 10-2 - scour your things for old e-waste and bring it to us for safe recycling! Our trained Corpsmembers will be available to help unload. Just pull up and we'll take care of the rest!
