A Lake Finds a Future

Of all the recent progress at the Arboretum, nothing has brought more celebration than Los Angeles County’s commitment to the restoration of Baldwin Lake.

History

Baldwin Lake in the 1880s was a pristine body of water where visitors drifted leisurely in boats, fish flourished in its deep waters and a variety of water fowl found refuge. Much has changed.

A Lake Finds a Future

Thanks to L.A. Supervisor Kathryn Barger, the restoration of Baldwin Lake proceeds.
