Honor Martin Luther King Jr. at South Pasadena Nature Park

Occidental College students and volunteers are having a park planting party in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Feb. 1.

Celebrate the life of one of America’s most influential leaders by giving back to South Pasadena’s four acre habitat park. Volunteers are welcome from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Feb. 1 to help plant native plants at Nature Park, formerly known as Arroyo Seco-South Pasadena Woodland and Wildlife Park. The park features buckwheat, sage and many other native coastal sage scrub plants.

The Friends of the Nature Park organize weekly clean ups on Saturday and Wednesday mornings. The next clean up days are scheduled for Jan. 18 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and Jan. 22 from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.

The park is located east of the York Street Bridge on the 100 block of Pasadena Avenue. Parking is available on Pasadena Avenue.
