Rosemont Preserve Open Gate Morning

An “open gate” event is taking place at the Rosemont Preserve on Saturday morning, May 3. This is a chance for residents to visit the Preserve and wander the trail at their own pace and enjoy the tranquil setting, the wildlife and the natural beauty. Photographers: bring your camera to capture the morning light and citizen scientists, bring your iNaturalist and Merlin apps to identify birds and add wildlife sightings!

The gate will be open from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., and Friends of the Rosemont Preserve Committee members will be available to answer questions and present this community resource. 

The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. As street parking is limited, please park at Two Strike Park, 5107 Rosemont Ave. Those with mobility issues who require a closer parking spot should contact the Rosemont Preserve Committee.

Those planning on walking the trails should wear sturdy shoes and bring water to drink.  

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages; no reservations required. Rain cancels. Sorry, no pets please.

Measles Case Investigated

Los Angeles County Dept. of Public Health is investigating one case of measles in a Los Angeles County resident who traveled recently from Texas. The traveler was not infectious during the time of travel. 

Public Health is identifying others who may have been potentially exposed and taking steps to confirm if they have been vaccinated against measles. Public Health is collaborating with the California Dept. Public Health and the Texas Dept. of State Health Services on this investigation. 

Individuals who have not had measles in the past and have not yet obtained the measles vaccine are at risk of developing measles from seven to 21 days after being exposed and should monitor for symptoms. Exposed individuals who have been free of symptoms for more than 21 days are no longer at risk.
