Adopt-A-Tree

The Friends of O'Melveny Park have started a program called "Adopt-a-Tree". Because the city of Los Angeles mandated that all parks be watered only twice per week for 15 minutes each watering, the Friends of O'Melveny Park ask each resident to adopt a tree or bush or flower patch in a park. When you go hiking or walking through the park, please bring a one gallon jug of water and help water the foliage. The little you do will make a great impact.
