Rim of the Valley Corridor Study Public Meeting

The National Park Service (NPS) is conducting a special resource study of the area known as the Rim of the Valley Corridor, generally including the mountains encircling the San Fernando, La Crescenta, Santa Clarita, Simi and Conejo Valleys. The purpose of this special resource study is to determine whether any portion of the Rim of the Valley Corridor study area is eligible to be designated as a unit of the national park system or added to an existing national park unit. The study will also explore other ways that private and governmental entities can protect resources and provide more outdoor recreation opportunities. Study alternatives may consider the entire study area or only portions of it.

Last week, the NPS released the Draft Study and is holding public meetings to explain the background and process, describe the alternatives, and solicit public comment. There will be 5 public meetings as listed below. Only the one in Thousand Oaks is listed as an event in this Meetup Group, but the others are available if they are more convenient for you.
