WSGVAP is Approved!
Together, we made a difference.
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the West San Gabriel Valley Area Plan (WSGVAP) on December 10, 2024.
Another outpouring of community sentiment through petition signatures, letters of support, and public comment speakers helped the Board of Supervisors know the extent of our support.
Donate Towards Our $100K Community Contribution Campaign
On Giving Tuesday 2024, we’re kicking off our campaign to raise $100,000 as a community contribution towards preservation.
AltadenaWILD is participating in initial discussions with conservation organizations, tribal groups, and outdoor education groups to define a low-impact preservation plan for 78 acres along Chaney Trail in Altadena.
Your donation will help make a “community contribution” that demonstrates local support to State agencies and philanthropic foundations and helps leverage grant funds.
