Los Angeles County Oak Woodlands Conservation Management Plan
The San Gabriel Chapter SAF is pleased to announce our upcoming Spring/Summer Dinner meeting with a very timely regional topic. Our guest will be Rosi Dagit, Certified Arborist with the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains.
Rosi will be describing the draft Los Angeles County Oak Woodlands Conservation Management Plan; she will also be soliciting input from the SAF members and guests present as the plan development team moves toward the plan implementation stage. One of the key elements of the plan is to address management of the oak and affiliated resources at the woodland level rather than the tree level.
Rosi Dagit, Senior Conservation Biologist and Certified Arborist, has been working at the RCDSMM since she moved to Los Angeles in 1987. She has initiated and coordinated numerous research, restoration and monitoring projects throughout the Santa Monica Mountains, starting with studies of Malibu Lagoon, Leo Carrillo State Beach and moving inland to watershed level analysis and sensitive species monitoring. She has published numerous technical papers, as well as a children’s book, Grandmother Oak. Currently Rosi serves as a member of the Los Angeles County Environmental Review Board and leader of the Topanga Creek Stream Team. Rosi is also a member of the Los Angeles County Beach Commission, technical advisor for the CA Oak Foundation and former member of the City of Malibu Environmental Review Board.
Join us at 5:30 pm on Thursday, June 3 at Los Angeles County Fire Department Camp 2 in La Canada Flintridge (4810 N. Oak Grove Drive, across from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory - click here for map). Dinner will be served promptly at 6:00 pm with introductions and the presentation beginning at 7:00 pm. Cost is $10.00 payable at the door. RSVP by Tuesday, June 1 so we can give the camp cooks a head count.Rosi will be describing the draft Los Angeles County Oak Woodlands Conservation Management Plan; she will also be soliciting input from the SAF members and guests present as the plan development team moves toward the plan implementation stage.
