| The
National Park Service is conducting a “special resource
study” of portions of the San Gabriel River watershed and
the San Gabriel Mountains. Our current newsletter presents several
draft alternative concepts for the area, each of which offers
a different collaborative, partnership-based approach to resource
protection and public use and enjoyment, while respecting existing
land management and ownership. You may download newsletter
#4 from this web site or you may request a printed copy from
our office. If you would like to provide comments on the newsletter

As directed by Congress
in July 2003 (P.L.
108-042) , the
National Park Service (NPS) is conducting a “special resource
study” of portions of
the San Gabriel River and its tributaries from the city of Santa
Fe Springs to the north, and the San Gabriel Mountains within
the territory of the San Gabriel and Lower Los Angeles Rivers
and Mountains Conservancy. This area includes portions of the
Angeles National Forest, as well as many communities along the
San Gabriel River.
Many people, organizations, and agencies are working to conserve
resources in this area to provide recreational opportunities,
habitat restoration, watershed improvement, and flood protection.
This study is intended to build on and complement the efforts
that are underway. |
