Protects over 28,000 acres of Southern California land as wilderness and adds rivers to a national system.
This bill would set aside almost 29,000 acres of federal land in Southern California as wilderness. This would protect these areas from certain building and development. It would also add over 20 miles of rivers and their branches to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, keeping them natural. These changes would give people more protected places to enjoy and make sure Indian Tribes can use them for cultural reasons.
Today, specific federal lands in the Angeles National Forest are not designated as wilderness, and certain river segments are not part of the Wild and Scenic Rivers System. If this bill passes, approximately 28,871 acres of land would become protected wilderness, and 20.2 miles of Little Rock Creek and its tributaries would be added to the Wild and Scenic Rivers System. Additionally, 25.3 miles of the San Gabriel River's forks would be studied for potential future protection.
