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.

In conjunction with the regularly scheduled open gate event, The Friends of Rosemont will be hosting an informational launch event for the highly anticipated Rosemont Preserve Entryway Beautification Project. Come out and speak with volunteers about this exciting partnership with the Crescenta Valley Water District, see what the new entry to the Preserve will look like and get all questions answered. Celebratory snacks included! For more information and to sign a letter of support for the project visit https://tinyurl.com/svt6jybk.
