The public is invited to participate in one of two upcoming planning workshops for a proposed interagency visitor center for the Santa Monica Mountains to be located near Calabasas at King Gillette Ranch.

 

These interactive workshops will help designers and agency planners create several possible design scenarios for the visitor center. Following public feedback from the meetings, concept schemes will be refined and incorporated into different development scenarios for the King Gillette Ranch Design Concept Plan scheduled for release this winter.

Did You Know?

The adult female of this cub died in 2005.

A study that began in 2002 reveals a lion and his offspring are surviving in the Santa Monica Mountains. Radio collars track them crossing roads and navigating through open spaces. Their future is uncertain, but with conservation efforts, they may continue to make these mountains their home.
