WHAT: “Bears in the San Gabriel Mountains"
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, January 25, 2011
WHERE: Eaton Canyon Nature Center, 1750 N. Altadena Drive, Pasadena
Join us for a special program, “Grizzlies and Black Bears in the San Gabriel Mountains,” at 7:30 p.m. Wed., January 25 at Eaton Canyon Nature Center, 1750 N. Altadena Drive, Pasadena (click here for directions).
Noted wildlife biologist Kevin Brennan will trace the history of the mighty grizzly bear that used to dominate local mountains and valleys until the rise of two-legged competition. Brennan, who has worked for 20 years with the California Department of Fish & Game, will also discuss the history and habits of the black bear that now roams the San Gabriels and, sometimes, our neighborhoods and hot tubs.
The program also will include the latest on the National Park Service’s proposal for a National Recreation Area for the San Gabriel Mountains and River.
A social reception at 7 p.m. precedes the 7:30 program sponsored by the Angeles Chapter’s Forest Committee.
The program is free and the public is welcome. For information, email Don Bremner at donbremner@earthlink.net or John Monsen at wildernessjfm@aol.com.
Directions to Eaton Canyon: From the 210 Freeway in Pasadena, take the Altadena Drive exit (if westbound on the 210, take the Sierra Madre Blvd. off ramp and at the bottom go west another few blocks to Altadena Drive), drive north toward the mountains about a mile, and 500 feet after crossing New York Drive, turn right into Eaton Canyon Park. The Nature Center is on the left from the parking area.
