About this event

Join Friends of the LA River and River Educator Jason “journeyman” Wise, for a River walk on the topic of queer ecology.

What is queer ecology? It's the study of everything in nature that subverts our cultural expectations about how the natural world should work. Queer ecology explores the roles of males and females in both animals and plants, the transitioning of animals, insects and plants from one sex to another, and even why we gender anything at all. Most of all, it's a discussion about how human society defines the natural world within its own cultural structures and limits, and how learning from nature can help us free us from those unnatural rules.

Friends of the Los Angeles River

Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization established in 1986. We envision a verdant Los Angeles River that supports vulnerable communities in climate adaptation. The River will be transformed into a dynamic, functioning ecosystem that reduces flood risk, cleans the air, cools temperatures, and supports the biodiversity essential to our collective wellbeing. FoLAR builds capacity for communities, students, and future leaders to advocate for nature, climate, and equity on the Los Angeles River.
