Angeles Forest Restoration Project

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 16:35:00 +0000

In response to the devastation wreaked upon the Angeles National Forest by the 160,000-acre Station Fire, a new entity has formed within the Angeles Chapter to function as the primary channel through which Sierrans can help the Forest to rise from the ashes.

Operating as a subcommittee of the Forest Committee, the Angeles Forest Restoration Project (AFRP) will organize and promote volunteer work parties to tackle Forest recovery and restoration projects as identified and authorized by the Forest Service.

Some of the activities that we anticipate could involve trails assessment and repair, facilities repair (campgrounds, picnic areas, signage replacement), erosion and flood damage prevention, and reforestation where appropriate.

AFRP is setting up the mechanics for Quick Turnaround outings announcements, and will be contacting Chapter Groups, Sections, and Committees with which to co-sponsor work party outings. Our goal is to be ready to go to work in the Forest as quickly as possible once the Forest Service completes its assessment process and calls upon us.

Please spread the word. Volunteers can submit their names for electronic notification by contacting AFRP at this email address: growangelesgrow@gmail.net
