Castaic closure

Subject: Castaic, Placerita Park Closures; Vasquez staffing cutback

The County of Los Angeles handed out notices last Tuesday that all park programs--school tours, public guided tours, moonlight hikes and astronomy programs were being cancelled immediately. A friend of mine who works at Vasquez was given notice on Wednesday that yesterday was her last day working in the park that the county was closing Castaic and Placerita while Vasquez would have only two remaining staffers and no public programs. She has worked in the park for several years.

We are having a meeting this Thursday, March 27, 2003 at 4:00 p.m. at the Placerita Nature Center for anyone interested in stopping this process. People from a number of different groups ranging from Mountain Conservancy representatives, county, and city of Santa Clarita have all been invited. The township council from Acton/Agua Dulce has also been invited to participate. Please consider attending and passing this invitation along to anyone else within your community that would be interested and effective in helping us keep these parks open. Not only are we going to lose access to our parks, but the process of rebuilding institutional knowledge that comes only with experience through working in the parks is a great loss to all of our communities. I am hopeful that this coalition of community groups may be able to stop the County of Los Angeles.

Should you have any questions, I can respond via e-mail or may be reached at 298-5877.

Thanks Woodsac for the update. I will definitely try to get to the meeting, if not, I'm sure a couple buddies of mine will get there. I hope I don't have to bust out the camo and lock cutters.

I had a meeting tonight with The Assistant Director for the county and he said tha this is a rumor and he had recieved this email. Now he did say that the county is making recomendation if the state doesn give them the money to run those parks they have been recieving to close Placertia and Vasquez and NOT Castaic.

Hope this helps
Dave
