One Bus, One Cause - Nature Nexus Institute

The logo is placed over a blue-to-yellow gradient background. In black text reads "Nature Nexus" next to a sketch of a black branch with leaves. Below, in yellow text reads "institute".

Nature Nexus Institute was founded on the belief that reciprocity between communities and nature is essential to the survival of both. They seek to provide equitable and intergenerational entry points to cultivating healthy community-nature relationships. To that end, they strive to be a nexus for science, culture, art, and research endeavors that result in a new generation of change-makers and storytellers. Nature Nexus Institute staff will lead volunteers in restoring parkland by removing weedy species and planting native coastal sage scrub. This work restores habitat for birds and wildlife found in one of the most scenic parks in urban LA.

Volunteers will help with removing invasive vegetation from the Baldwin Hills Scenic Overlook and plant California native plants to restore the native habitat for wildlife.
