Photographers: bring your camera to capture the morning light and citizen scientists, bring your iNaturalist app to 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. LA County guidelines are being followed requiring visitors to wear masks and practice social distancing when visiting the Preserve.
The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence.

SCE INSPECTIONS PLANNED
Over the next few weeks, Southern California Edison will be conducting aerial inspections in your neighborhood utilizing drones and/or helicopters. Inspectors are using drones and helicopters to inspect equipment in hard-to-reach areas and from difficult angles. The focus of these operations is SCE electrical assets, structures and right of ways that support SCE assets. These inspections are just one part of SCE broader wildfire prevention and mitigation program focusing on keeping communities safe. The amount of time it takes to conduct inspections varies.
