Some public institutions alongside private partners have fought to preserve the legacy of citrus production in Los Angeles. Located in the San Fernando Valley, the California State University of Northridge (CSUN) maintains a five acre orange grove with over 400 navel trees. Open to the public, the grove is an enjoyable area for picnics, scenery, and recreation. Partnering with Fruit Forward, a nonprofit dedicated to redistributing surplus produce to those facing food insecurity, CSUN harvests their oranges for consumption.
