For the residents of Big Creek, the Sierra National Forest isn’t simply the place they call home; the old, towering trees are living, breathing beings embedded into the fabric of the tight-knit community. Sadly, the 2020 Creek Fire burned nearly 380,000 acres in Big Creek Canyon. ...

In the Angeles National Forest north of Arcadia, the San Gabriel River has become a popular gathering place for picnickers and swimmers, who often bathe in pools created by crude human-made dams of rocks and logs. The dams disturb the river’s flow and threaten the Santa Ana sucker, an endangered fish. They also hamper flood control efforts and are a magnet for trash left behind by recreational users. Recently, volunteers from Edison International joined ongoing efforts to clean up the river and remove invasive dams. The event celebrated National Public Lands Day and was part of Edison International’s $350,000 funding for the National Forest Foundation this year and $2.25 million total donated to the group since 2010.
