I LOVE THIS! My mountains are now a national monument. Many benefits to follow, according to the experts. Many groups, including The Wilderness Society, San Gabriel Mountains Forever, Council of Mexican Federations or COFEM, the Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council, Bike SGV, the San Gabriel Valley Water Association, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments are supportive of the presidential action. The proposal for a national monument came out of a bill by Congresswoman Judy Chu, and before that, by then-Rep. Hilda Solis. Chu said national monument status would more resources for rangers, trail maintenance and signs. Those who argued that recreational opportunities would be curtailed under monument designation are mistaken, she said. “I’ve talked to the (Obama) Administration and they have assured me there will be more resources for the San Gabriel Mountains.”
