See all- Big Santa Anita Canyon Update and Q&A with Angeles National Forest StaffEaton Canyon Nature Center, Pasadena, CA
Angeles National Forest public affairs officer Dana Dierkes and other ANF staff members will join us for an update and Q&A on plans for the Chantry Flats/Big Santa Anita Canyon area. This important local recreational resource was closed after the 2020 Bobcat Fire and subsequent flooding, and now the closure order is about to expire May 31. Among the topics to be discussed is volunteering assistance that is still needed to get forest trails back in shape!
