San Gabriel Mountains Community Collaborative

As the nonprofit partner of the U.S. Forest Service, the NFF has a unique role that enables us to work closely with the Angeles National Forest to bring people together to promote the health and enjoyment of the new Monument. As part of our mission, the NFF offers neutral facilitation services for collaborative efforts that benefit National Forest System lands, and on the Angeles National Forest we're facilitating the San Gabriel Mountains Community Collaborative.

San Gabriel Mountains Community Collaborative Purpose Statement

Represent the general public by integrating diverse perspectives to identify, analyze, prioritize and advocate for values, resources, investments, management objectives and implementation practices that sustainably benefit all communities throughout the region, the Angeles National Forest and the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument.

Background

The Community Collaborative formed in 2014 to support the designation of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument, including the San Gabriel Mountains, interdependent communities, watersheds, and ecosystems, to be managed by the Forest Service as part of the Angeles National Forest. In late 2016, The Collaborative submitted consensus comments to the Angeles National Forest to guide development of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument Management Plan and Environmental Assessment.

In 2019, the San Gabriel National Monument Management Plan was signed and the Forest Service and SGMCC are now moving toward the implementation of projects in the Angeles National Forest. Current projects that align with the U.S. Forest Service are focused on transportation, conservation, education, trails and recreation, volunteer engagement, and capital improvements. All projects acknowledge the rights of communities throughout the region and welcome diverse community voices.
