Sofia K. Boulander, a volunteer with LA Works, described a project to make seed "balls" of California native wildflowers to help regenerate areas in and around Los Angeles that were affected by wildfires.
Boulander said volunteers form a mix of native wildflower seeds into small balls by "Turn it into a pancake, so you're just gonna pound it down. So we're making seed balls with a mix of California native wildflowers that are gonna go to poppies." She said the seed balls will be distributed in areas damaged by fires, including Eden Canyon, to encourage regrowth.
Boulander described a personal connection to the work: she said she was "born and raised in LA," and that "a lot of my friends' houses were affected, and a lot of the beautiful spaces like Eden Canyon that I have a lot of childhood memories" were deeply affected by fires. She identified her host program as LA Works and invited participation, saying, "Join hashtag c a love, c a strong."
