Getting There: A Wildlife Crossing Over the 101

Photo exhibit and opening night reception aim to raise awareness of proposed Liberty Canyon Landbridge!

Come help raise awareness for the proposed Liberty Canyon Landbridge! Through the art of Southern California photographers, this group exhibit aims to show how many Los Angeles creatures (such as mountain lions, foxes, coyotes, deer, and lizards) would benefit from a wildlife crossing by decreasing car accidents, saving animals’ lives, and improving the genetic diversity of various species. Thanks to the dedicated work of groups such as the National Wildlife Federation, CalTrans, and the Santa Monica Mountains Fund the project has been granted $1 million from the State Coastal Conservancy, but to be shovel ready by 2018 an additional $3 million is still necessary to complete engineering, fund research, and facilitate outreach, education, and advocacy for the campaign. In addition to enjoying the wonderful art and learning about this nationally recognized effort, the $10 admission fee at the door includes wine, hors d’oeuvres, an entry to the raffle, and complimentary valet in front of the gallery. All proceeds will be donated to the NWF. RSVP to rsvp@theg2gallery.com to attend.
