Expand the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument!

Join us in calling on President Biden to add 109,000 acres of public lands to the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument

BENEFITS OF PROTECTING THESE LANDS >

ENSURE & EXPAND EQUITABLE ACCESS TO NATURE

These lands are the backyard for many urban and culturally diverse communities that have limited access to green spaces in their neighborhoods.

KEY SOURCE OF DRINKING WATER

Expanding the monument will help protect the upper Los Angeles River watershed, which is an important source of our region’s drinking water.

CRITICAL WILDLIFE HABITAT

The San Gabriel Mountains are a refuge for wildlife including black bears, mountain lions, coyotes, bighorn sheep, and mule deer.

“For Angelenos, the San Gabriel Mountains have been a lifelong connection to nature. That is why we are urging President Biden to use his authority under the Antiquities Act to fulfill the complete vision of permanently protecting the San Gabriel Mountains and all of their natural wonders.”

Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA)

"I'm so grateful to the diverse, vibrant group of leaders of this more than 20-year movement to protect the San Gabriel Mountains, and I hope that President Biden will recognize the importance of these lands by designating the western Angeles National Forest as part of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument."

Representative Judy Chu (CA-28)

“I support adding these lands to the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument for the benefit of all.”

“Adding 109,000 acres of the Angeles National Forest to the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument will help ensure that more Angelenos, especially historically underserved communities, can access and learn more about this beloved region now and for generations to come.”
