The San Gabriel Mountains Foothills and Rivers Protection Act was introduced in April 2019 and would ensure the future of the San Gabriel National Monument. This national monument was created by the Obama administration and was immediately put under review by the Trump administration. Should this bill pass, it would add over 100,000 acres and over 45.5 miles to the National Wild and Scenic System. This area is in close proximity to one of the West Coast’s largest population centers. The protection of these areas helps preserve cultural, geologic, and wilderness areas so that current and future generations might experience their splendor.
