Public Meetings Start Sept. 14 for Park Service Rim of the Valley Study
Comment Deadline October 29, 2010, Don’t fail to comment.
See the maps of the area at www.landrights.org
<http://www.landrights.org/>
-----Below is a list of meetings to be held by the Park Service.
These are really what they call “open houses”. You get to comment
but it is kept secret and not an open process where every one else who is testifying gets to hear what you say. A very bad closed process.
-----You need to insist that they hold “public hearings” so you can give your testimony so every one else gets to hear you and it is
recorded so your comments about this massive new park that will threaten 169,000 landowners in Los Angeles and Ventura counties is fully on the record.
-----Send the Park Service e-mail or fax requesting “public hearings” instead of “open houses.” Call your Congressman at (202) 225-3121 to ask that he or she insist that the Park Service
hold “public hearings,” not just “open houses.” You should call both your Senators also at (202) 224-3121.
-----Please forward this message as widely as possible. --------
Below is a release from the Park Service about the Rim of the Valley Study. You want to make sure you sign up to get e-mails.
New NPS Special Resource Study Underway-Rim of the Valley Corridor.
The NPS is also carrying out a separate study of the San Gabriel Watershed and Mountains Special Resource Area.
The Intent of the Park Service is to combine these two areas and take control of all of the Angeles National Forest and a large part of the
San Bernardino National Forest as part of a new area managed by the National Park Service. If that happens, you lose.
Your access will be limited if not eliminated. The entire area will likely be declared as Wilderness which means that only healthy people
age 18 to 40 can hike it. NO motorized vehicles.

This summer, the National Park Service initiated a new "special resource study" of the Rim of the Valley Corridor surrounding the San Fernando, La Crescenta, Santa Clarita, Simi and Conejo Valleys in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties of southern California.
As you are probably aware, the National Park Service has been working on the San Gabriel Watershed and Mountains Special Resource Study for the past few years.
Because of the proximity of these study areas to each other, we wanted to make sure that folks interested in the San Gabriel study
were also aware of this new Rim of the Valley Corridor Study that is why you are receiving this e-mail.
How does the new Rim of the Valley Corridor study relate to the San Gabriel Watershed and Mountains Special Resource Study?
Each of the two studies was authorized through separate legislation, at different times and for different geographic areas.
However, the basic purpose of each study is the same, which is to determine whether any portion of the study areas is eligible to be
designated as a unit of the national park system or, in the case of the Rim of the Valley Corridor study, added to an existing national park such as the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
Similar to the San Gabriel study, the Rim of the Valley Corridor SRS will also explore other ways that private or governmental entities
can protect resources and provide more outdoor recreation opportunities.
There is an overlapping portion of the two study areas in the western San Gabriel Mountains. Because this area is being studied through the
San Gabriel Watershed and Mountains study, information from that study will be considered and integrated as appropriate into the Rim
of the Valley Corridor Special Resource Study.
As we begin the Rim of the Valley Corridor Special Resource Study, we wanted to provide you an opportunity to join the email list for this
new study. To that end, we would like to invite you to register for email alerts on our website.
People on our e-mail list will receive notices of upcoming meetings and current newsletters summarizing the study process and draft
findings when they are available. Once you opt-in to our email list, you can easily opt-out if you decide that you are no longer interested. We will not share our email list with any other entity.
For more information, please visit the study website:

Please note that the public comment period for the Rim of the Valley Corridor Special Resource Study has opened and will extend through October 29, 2010.
We look forward to staying in touch with you throughout the process!
