Join us for an intensive Wilderness First Aid course that will teach you everything you need to know about being safe in the wilderness. The weekend course will take palce Oct. 28 to 30 at the Chapter's Harwood Lodge at the base of Mt. Baldy.

This live-in three-day weekend has variously been described as “first aid boot camp” and “the best cruise I ever took.” Translation: it can be intense, demanding, exciting and fattening all in one weekend.

Homes or open space? That's the dilemma looming over 41 pristine acres in the San Gabriel Mountains in Glendora.

Los Angeles Inspiring Connections Outdoors, an entity of the Angeles Chapter that focuses on providing outings for underserved students, believes The Three Rs -- respect, responsibility, and resilience -- are as important as the more traditional ones of reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic for those students about to enter adulthood. 

Each year Angeles Chapter Sierra Club gives out awards to volunteers who have shown outstanding commitment and leadership to the club. Below are award winners for 2015.

Join us at the Chapter's Annual Awards Banquet on June 5 to salute their good work. The banquet is dedicated to the National Park Service Centennial and will be held at the Brookside Country Club in Pasadena. Individual tickets cost $40; deadline to buy tickets is May 26.

Congratulations to all!

Those who visit the San Gabriel River north of Azusa find few clean restrooms or trash cans, few places to safely access the river, few interpretive programs and few rangers (especially multilingual ones) to answer questions about the area. Water quality has been degraded by trash and aquatic life threatened by human-built dams and mechanical dredging for gold.

But it doesn't have to be this way.
