WHERE
NATURE
PLAYS
A natural amphitheater like the Hollywood Bowl is a rare thing: a habitat and haven
for flora and fauna alike. We have been certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, a
designation granted to organizations that implement an environmental management plan.
You can help! Take the bus. Ride your bike. Park and Ride. Leave the car at home and get
there the green way. You’ll enjoy your concert more, and you’ll help cut down on carbon
emissions and traffic around the Bowl.
