We're Number One! You can show that Los Angeles is the greenest County in the state - and support biodiversity and nature in our community - by taking the California 2026 30x30 Nature Pledge! Commit to as many of the 30 listed actions as you can, even including actions you're already taking. If it doesn't apply to you or you aren't ready to commit, just skip that action. For the month of October 2026, your answers will help LA County win the challenge! Organizers of the 2026 30x30 Challenge will determine the greenest County in California by the number of people and actions per population. With so much going on that feels outside of our individual control, it's a great time to recommit to personal choices that help protect the nature we love! Go to tinyurl.com/canaturepledge to take the pledge.

From the

There is a petition to reopen the SL Rec Center on Sundays, which we 💯% support! ALSO please vote to support our parks on the upcoming ballot! LA Parks are woefully underfunded, especially for staffing, your vote can help to change that!

‼️🚧 And noting that since the SL library is ALSO closed on Sundays we have no open public restrooms then! As a result, maybe, we have been finding (and removing) more human waste in the bushes. This is a potential public health issue, and we are working to raise awareness of that, too. Thank you all for your support, and your attention to, um, these truly important matters.

Foreclosure auction for stalled housing project

From and

A set of three partly constructed houses that have stood unfinished for years at Glendale Boulevard and Rowena Avenue are headed for a foreclosure auction today in Pomona at 11 am.

Construction at that corner has been ongoing, on and off, since 2017, and the site has attracted clutter and vandalism. The owner of the property at 2800-2804 Glendale Blvd. is now in default on a $4.2 million loan recorded on March 4, 2024, with an unpaid balance of $3.5 million, according to property records and the Notice of the Trustee’s Sale (found on page 37 of the Daily Commerce) .

Around the time of the 2024 loan, property owner Hardy Wronske of Everelle Build Co. said he expected to finish construction by the end of the year. Wronske has not commented on the project since then, and did not respond to inquiries on this latest development.

Problems here long predate the current ownership, and include being foreclosed on under a previous owner in 2008.

This was also formerly the site of a 1930s gas station that was unsuccessfully nominated as a city Historic-Cultural Monument. The station was demolished in 2008 after the foreclosure and the failure of the preservation effort.

Today's foreclosure auction may be good news for the neighborhood, according to real estate broker Clint Lukens.

"It will likely go to someone who will be in it at a lower cost basis than the previous outfit, and hopefully can finish the project or at least put something there that is useful for the neighborhood and community," Lukens said.

It’s tree pruning season! October through January is the safest time to prune your trees and avoid disturbing nesting birds. Still, always use a certified arborist and check for nests before doing any pruning. Great-Horned Owls can nest as early as November and some hummingbirds nest year-round! Speaking of pruning. There are right ways and wrong ways...

Photo 2: This is called hat-racking… lopping off the leafy portions of the branches leaving nothing but shorn, graceless limbs.

Photo 3: This is called topping. It’s what people often do to preserve a view or make store signs more visible.

Photo 4: This is called killing. The business owner here assured us that the tree would grow back. (It hasn’t.) Remember, hire an arborist, not a lumberjack!

Photo 5: This is a proper pruning. It thins crowded branches, removes dead, diseased or crossing ones, and preserves the natural shape and sound structure of the tree. Normal pruning should be done every 3-5 years.
