Living with Wildlife

Have you ever wondered where the Rosemont Preserve is? Or what goes on there? Rabinov, long-time La Crescenta resident and co-chair of Friends of the Rosemont Preserve, will lead the tour recounting the history of the Preserve, how it came about and how it has been transformed into a valuable asset to the community. Learn about the plants and animals who inhabit the Preserve, as well as how to deal with local wildlife.
Due to limited parking at the Preserve, attendees are asked to park at Two Strike Park at 5107 Rosemont Ave. Wear sturdy shoes to walk the trail and bring a hat and water if it’s hot.
