๐ง๐Hear why Ashley (2026 MYARC cohort member) believes protecting public lands matters! To Ashley, public lands provide essential, everyday resources that we would not be able to live without! For example, the oxygen we breathe comes from trees, the water we drink comes from natural lands, and the sugar we eat comes from bees who live in nature. ๐๐ฒโฐ๏ธ๐We are continuing to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the San Gabriel Mountainsโ designation as a national monument! Originally designated by President Obama on October 10th, 2014, to protect 346,177 acres of outdoor land as part of the San Gabriel Mountains, this special area increases community access to nature while also protecting local habitats, various species, and historical features. ๐ฟ๐ฑThis milestone celebrates continuous efforts by federal and local administrations to expand outdoor lands and care for our beloved environment. ๐๐ณFor API youth in the San Gabriel Valley, the San Gabriels are more than just a backdrop – they are a place to hike, heal, learn, and build community. Protecting these lands means protecting access to nature, cultural connection, and a healthier future for generations to come. ๐But our public lands are still under threat – from budget cuts and staff rollbacks to efforts to sell public lands for profit. The latest round of threats proposes to slash even more USFS resources – while paving the way for more roads and development, like data centers on, these lands.โผ๏ธโ Join us in calling on Congress to protect and fund the San Gabriel Mountains through the San Gabriel Mountains Forever campaign.๐ข Sign the petition (link in bio) and note that you were referred by APIFM. โจ...#SanGabrielMountainsForever #ProtectCAPublicLands #LANatureForAll #MYARCprogram #MYARC2025 #EnvironmentalJustice #YouthLeadership @lanatureforall
