February 12
Author John Robinson To Speak At Forest Campaign
Event
Submitted By: John Monsen
Mountain historian and trials writer John Robinson will be the featured
speaker at a February 12 community meeting in Pasadena. The event
is being sponsored by the Southern California Forests Campaign, a new
Sierra Club effort to help safeguard the region's four national forests
from a variety of imminent threats, including everything from
toll roads and massive power lines to the loss of unique animal species that
live in our forests. The meeting will be held at the Eaton
Canyon Nature Center, 1750 N. Altadena Drive, north
of the 210 Freeway in Pasadena.
John Robinson will speak on "The San Gabriel Mountains: Then and
Now." His books include The San Gabriels, a history
of the local mountains and Trails of the Angeles and San
Bernardino Mountain Trails -- two of the best know hiking guides to
our local forests. Forest Campaign representative John Monsen will
briefly introduce the Southern California Forests Campaign and talk about
how we can protect the health of our local mountains in the future as
he offers "10 Easy Steps To Protecting Our Forests."
There will be a reception at the Eaton Canyon Nature Center at 7 p.m.
followed by the hour-long program featuring John Robinson which begins
at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome and there is no admission charge.
