Evolve Altadena
Preserving the soul and cultivating the future of Altadena
Resilience - Replenish - Reimagine
Evolve Altadena’s purpose is to Protect and Nurture the Soul and Culture of Our Home in partnership with each other and the land based on Ancestral Knowledge and practice for Past, Present and Future Generations.
We believe in the Soul of Altadena
We are a community devastated by the Eaton fire. We lost homes, schools and businesses. We are homeowners and renters. We live with disabilities and are young and old. We are organizers, artists and farmers. We are healers, business owners and teachers. We are documented, undocumented. We are single-parent families, blended families, same-sex parent families. We believe in the Soul of Altadena and a future that is sustainable and honors native land stewardship practices, a future not driven by profit, neglect and discrimination.
Join us in building the future of Altadena.
