Rosemont Preserve Open Gate Morning

An “open gate” event is taking place at the Rosemont Preserve on Saturday morning, Feb. 3. 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., and Friends of the Rosemont Preserve Committee members will be available to answer questions and present this community resource.

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages; no reservations required. Rain cancels. Sorry, no pets please.

Then on Sunday, Feb. 4 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., the CV Water District will present a program on watersheds and waterways.

The community is invited on a unique tour of Rosemont Preserve led by staff from the Crescenta Valley Water District. Participants will learn about watersheds, where local water comes from, and how water gets stored and delivered to area homes – all while getting to know the local water district!
