The LCF City Council voted unanimously Monday in favor of a resolution supporting wilderness and wild river designations for the San Gabrial Mountains.
The resolution was authored and placed before the council by the San Gabriel Mountains Forever conservation group.
The U.S. Forest Service has already recommended to Congress that 21,414 acres in the San Gabriel Mountains be designated as wilderness area, according to a report submitted to the council. The San Gabriel Mountains Forever group is asking Congress to designate an additional 9,100 cares as wilderness.
