The Altadena Crest Trail Restoration Working Group (ACTRWG) will meet tonight, Tues., Nov. 13, at 7 PM at the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Dr.

According to meetings chair Robert Staehle, Brown Mountain is the main topic:

The lack of maintenance for the Brown Mt. Fire Rd (from Millard Cyn Campground parking lot west to the top of Rising Hill Rd), which provides access for emergency fire trucks and crews as well as evacuation routes for local residents, is on the agenda for this meeting. This is an important issue not only for trail use, but because the unpaved Brown Mt. Rd provides a critical fire line between the Angeles Forest and hillside homes. In recent years, that road was passable by passenger car and County Fire Dept. vehicles; however, it is gradually approaching impassable due to rock fall, shrubs, saplings and weeds now that neither the USFS or L.A. County takes responsibility for its maintenance.

Your participation and views are important. All are welcome!
