Also, Painting Passport holders will receive a 20% discount on all workshops. One-day passes are $28.

Operation Phoenix begins

        The Glendora Community Conservancy/San Gabriel MountainsRegional Conservancy  has begun “Operation Phoenix” literally rising out of the ashes of last week’s Colby Fire that burned 400 of the 700 acres of Conservancy-owned watershed properties in the San Gabriel Foothills Corridor.

       The Conservancies are already getting promises of recovery and renewal with help from the California Conservation Corp/LA County Fire Department, Azusa Pacific University, and regional teachers and professors offering to help with fire ecology research, student projects, Scouts, rehabilitation, and recovery/restoration projects. 

       You can help by making donations to the GCC/SGMRC. 100% of donations go to restoration of the burned lands.
