Culver City Green Spaces Survey Update, Rocco’s Pizzeria CCEF Fundraiser and Yogi Looking for Local People for Documentary Series

1. The organizers of the Green Space Plan survey that we ran on Feb. 7 contacted Patch yesterday and informed us that the link to the survey was broken. The new link to take the online survey is now here. Just a reminder that North East Trees, Ballona Creek Renaissance and Culver City Parks, Recreation and Community Services Green Space Advisory Committee have teamed up to create the Culver City Green Space Plan. The plan aims to increase the value of Culver City Parks to a broader segment of the local community through passive recreation or wellness activities, while creating an urban environment that enhances personal and environmental health. You can read the overview in the PDF document to the right of this article then take the online survey (click the link above) and let them know what types of activities you feel would improve Culver City parks and open spaces.
