For many mountain bikers, hikers and equestrians, the Arroyo Seco is the jumping off point for trail systems behind JPL, which have been closed to the public since the Station Fire. Well-known trails such as the Gabrieleno National Recreation Trail pass through the Arroyo Seco canyon. There are plans being considered for the Hahamongna Watershed Park, at the mouth of the canyon, for development, soccer fields, and a bike path.<\/p>\n
The Los Angeles & San Gabriel Rivers Watershed Council\u00a0invites you to attend a workshop on April 6th 1pm-5pm at La Casita del\u00a0Arroyo. The Watershed Council is developing an indicator-driven tool\u00a0for assessing the social, ecological and economic health of Southern\u00a0California Watersheds. We are partnering with researchers from USC,\u00a0UCLA, UC Davis, the US Forest Service and the California Office of\u00a0Environmental Health and Hazard Assessment.<\/p>\n
The Arroyo Seco Watershed\u00a0was chosen by our project team and technical advisory committee as the\u00a0location for a pilot application of the assessment tool. We are\u00a0inviting stakeholders in the Arroyo Seco to comment on the indicators of\u00a0health that have been selected. The workshop will include a\u00a0presentation of the research to date, and break-out sessions where\u00a0attendees can provide feedback. Please RSVP at this link:<\/p>\n
