    News and Events

    Azusa Foothills Stewardship Workshops

    Watershed Conservation Authority held a series of eight workshops in the foothills overlooking Azusa from November 2022 to January 2023. The suggestions and feedback of community members collected over the course these events are being synthesized into recommendations for building a community centered stewardship and access program for WCA's Azusa Foothills Open Space lands.  Click here for video excerpts from the workshops. 

    This series of workshops is part of the development of a stewardship plan for Azusa Foothills Lands funded by a Rivers and Mountains Conservancy grant for acquisition of land for public benefit in the Azusa foothills. Thank you to all our workshop leaders, and to Azusa Beautiful.

    River Wilderness Park Re-Opens September 23rd

    With the re-opening of the River Wilderness Park and the Angeles National Forest on September 23, 2021, WCA would like to remind visitors to continue to recreate responsibly. The fire danger level remains at "Extreme!" For those looking to beat the heat, visitors to the River Wilderness Park are reminded that there is never river access at this location. The Park is situated beneath dams that can release water into the river suddenly and without warning, creating dangerous conditions. Signs have been posted around the park guiding visitors to other nearby locations where they can get in the water. Thank you and stay safe!
