Our Current Project

Our mission is to acquire existing undeveloped land in Laurel Canyon for both residents and animals. Keeping the Canyon wild.

In May of 2022 we acquired two parcels at  2135 and 2141 Laurel Canyon Boulevard (APN 5567-029-007 and 5567-029-008). The land is home to several mature, native trees along iconic Laurel Canyon Boulevard. Learn more about this acquisition here.
