Final Chance to Comment on the Creation of a San Gabriel Mountains
National Recreation Area on Wed., Oct. 28th in Tujunga!!
Please join your friends and neighbors next Wednesday, Oct. 28th at 7 p.m. at the Northeast Valley City Hall Auditorium to support a National Recreation Area for the San Gabriel Mountains which could bring in new rangers and resources to the mountains and could even help with fire restoration. Click here for directions.

Volunteers helping to restore San Antonio Creek in the San Gabriel Mountains. Join them on Wednesday, Oct. 28th in Tujunga to advance a visionary proposal to bring in more rangers and resources to the mountains that could even help with fire restoration.

Your presence, comments and support are urgently needed next Wednesday. A congressional study team has released a once-in-a-generation draft study with a range of visionary alternatives for the San Gabriel Mountains.

The alternatives include a proposal to incorporate the San Gabriel Mountains into a new National Recreation Area (NRA) modeled after the highly successful Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in the western reaches of Los Angeles.

An NRA could mean great things for the San Gabriels like more rangers and resources; but it doesn't have a chance if we don’t come out to support it. Click here and let me know if you can make it.

Please arrive at 6:30 p.m. to receive recommended comments. Look for our San Gabriel Mtns Forever Signs. Once you sign in you will also receive an “Our Kids Want an NRA!” lapel sticker. The resources study team will be making a presentation at 7 p.m., followed by a chance for public comment.


San Gabriel Mountains Forever volunteers will be in Tujunga next Wednesday night supporting a National Recreation Area!
The draft “San Gabriel Watershed and Mountains Special Resources Study" has found that the San Gabriel Mountains are nationally significant, which means that they are eligible for more federal resources.

Opponents of these proposals will no doubt be there, too, including people who want to see more motorcycle and jeep trails in our forest backcountry—so we need you to be there so our voices are heard!

Please RSVP to: juana.torres@sierraclub.org Thanks!
