U.S. Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) and Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) introduced legislation Thursday week to expand the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and protect more wilderness in Southern California. The San Gabriel Mountains Protection Act would expand the monument by 109,167 acres, designate approximately 31,000 acres as new or expanded wilderness areas, and add 45.5 miles to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. 'The Los Angeles area is among the most park-poor regions of the country despite being blessed by gorgeous rivers, forests, and mountains of the San Gabriels right in our backyard,' said Chu.
