About the Exhibit

Art meets nature meets individual action in this interactive exhibit.

Through the lens of talented wildlife photographers and camera trappers, via the paint brushes and canvases of local artists, and through the stories and wisdom of the Tongva people who have stewarded this land for millennia, you’ll see our wild surroundings from an entirely new perspective. This exhibit blends art, science, and the best of community conservation efforts.

This exhibit highlights Descanso Gardens’ place in the Hahamongna to Tujunga Wildlife Corridor, a series of passageways Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy (AFC) is working to establish for wildlife to travel between the San Gabriel Mountains and the isolated open space of the San Rafael Hills, Verdugo Mountains and Griffith Park.

We each play a part in supporting the health of our planet. We all must learn how to think global, but act local to make a positive impact on our changing climate. Conservation works best when we work together: you will walk away with real, immediate actions to make a difference in your backyards and neighborhoods.
