The Altadena Historical Society’s next quarterly meeting and lecture features  historian and author Elizabeth Pomeroy and  Arroyo & Foothills Conservancy Executive Director John Howell in a look at historic MIllard Canyon.

Covered by a canopy of at least nine species of native trees, habitat to countless birds and other wildlife, the canyon serves as a wildlife corridor for the large mammal species that live in the foothills.  Millard Creek is a year-round stream that  feeds the area as well.  There is a good possibility that 13 acres in the canyon, north of Canyon Crest Road, can be saved from development.
