January Giving

For our January Giving, in support of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy (PVPLC) and Beautify Lunada Bay (BLB) Project, the LCD team helped lay mulch around native plants on the first BLB pilot project site. No herbicides are being used to eliminate weeds, on this environmentally sensitive area; therefore, mulch is an important element in the process of naturally eliminating and controlling weeds. We can't wait to see the plants come to life and restore the natural beauty of our community.

Giving Back with LCD in 2017

Last year, the LCD Team began a monthly giving as a way to contribute to our community. Little did we realize how rewarding participating in each of these causes would be, so when the decision came to continue it was a yes all-around for 2018. What better way to kick off the new year of giving's than a roundup of last year's monthly opportunities. Scroll below to see how the LCD Team gave back to our community in 2017.
