Cooper, President 5850 W. 3rd St. #167 Los Angeles, CA 90036 (323) 397-3562 [email protected] Griffith Park Rare Plant Survey Plummer's mariposa-lily Calochortus plummerae (CNPS 1B.2) blooms near Skyline Trail in the northeastern corner of Griffith Park, 26 May 2010 (ph. DSC). Prepared by: Daniel S. Cooper Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc. October 2010 1 Part I. Summary of Findings Part II (species accounts) begins after p. 26. We present information on extant occurrences of 15 special-status species, subspecies and/or varieties of vascular plants in Griffith Park and contiguous open space, including three for which no known local specimen existed prior to this study: slender mariposa-lily (Calochortus clavatus var. gracilis; CNPS 1B.2), Humboldt lily (Lilium humboldtii var. ocellatum; CNPS 4.2), and Hubby's phacelia (Phacelia hubbyi; CNPS 4.2). Using lists developed by local botanists, we document - from specimens or digital photographs - extant occurrences of nearly 40 additional plant taxa felt to be of conservation concern in the eastern Santa Monica Mountains, including 16 for which no prior specimen existed for the park or surrounding open space. We also identify several dozen taxa known from the specimen record but unconfirmed in the park in recent years. From this information, we discuss patterns of occurrence of rare plants in the park, drawing attention to "hotspots" for rare species diversity, such as Spring Canyon and Royce Canyon, and identify areas, particularly in the northeastern corner of the park and along the southeastern border, where rare plants are relatively poorly represented in the landscape.

  • Hollywood Is a District of Los Angeles Located Northwest of Downtown Los Angeles and West of Glendale. Due to Its Fame and Cult
    Hollywood is a district of Los Angeles located northwest of Downtown Los Angeles and west of Glendale. Due to its fame and cultural identity as the historical center of movie studios, the word "Hollywood"is often used as a metonym of American cinema, and it is also often used to denote the largest district of Los Angeles. His two nicknames "StarStruck Town" and "Tinseltown"refer to the interrelationship between the American film industry in Hollywood. Today, however, most production companies are scattered in other nearby neighborhoods, such as Westside, but several of the major studios such as editing, visual effects or post-production are still in Hollywood, such as studios Paramount Pictures. In the 1880s, a couple from Kansas, Harvey Henderson Wilcox (who made his fortune in real estate despite the loss of the use of his legs due to typhoid fever) and his wife Daeida Wilcox Beveridge, decided to relocate from Topeka to Los Angeles. In 1886, Wilcox bought 0.6 km2 of land in the countryside west of the city on the foothills of Cahuenga Pass. It Daeida Wilcox who chose the name "Hollywood" for the property, referring to a colony of German immigrants named and located in Ohio. She became acquainted during a train journey to the east, talking to a woman there. The pleasant sound of the word itself, the ranch was so named. The most famous avenue in Hollywood is Hollywood Boulevard. It extends from east to west from Vermont Avenue to Sunset Boulevard. It houses not only the Walk of Fame (the famous star with the names of stars), but also the Grauman's Chinese Theatre and the Kodak Theater which is awarded every year the Academy Awards.

  • Hollywood's Silent Echoes Cahuenga Tour 2018
    Hollywood’s Silent Echoes Tour Late in 1921 a mob of angry police chased Buster Keaton down a narrow Hollywood alley towards Cahuenga Boulevard. Entering the street Buster saw to his right a corner where “America’s Sweetheart” Mary Pickford filmed a scene in 1918 beside what is now an adult book store. To his left Buster saw the former Hollywood fire/police station where he would shoot five different films. All seems lost when Buster boldly stops and turns to face his pursuers – then suddenly, grabbing a passing car one-handed, he flies out of frame to safety. This breathtaking stunt, appearing in Keaton’s most famous short film Cops (1922), was filmed on Cahuenga just south of Hollywood Boulevard. Unburdened by permit regulations and truckloads of sound equipment, the silent movie filmmakers roamed freely seeking the best locations to shoot. In the process they created a vast photographic record of early Hollywood and Los Angeles, capturing historic streets and settings that often no longer exist. But as fleeting images projected on a screen, this record remained hidden in plain sight for decades until digital technology allowed us the time to freeze these moments and take a closer look. Remarkably, the great silent film comedians Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd filmed more frequently on the block of Cahuenga south of Hollywood Boulevard than at any other spot in town. It’s easy to speculate why. All three stars had studios close by (the Keaton Studio was just six blocks to the south), and with its numerous alleys and generic commercial buildings, filming on this “urban” street saved them from making trips to downtown Los Angeles to shoot.

    III. Responses to Comments Comment Letter No. 6 Antonio Gonzalez Chairperson Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Ramirez Canyon Park 5750 Ramirez Canyon Road Malibu, California 90265 Comment No. 6-1 The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy (Conservancy) has reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the proposed Forest Lawn Memorial Park - Hollywood Hills Master Plan. The cemetery's location adjacent to Griffith Park provides a serene natural setting apt for such a use. As discussed further below, the Conservancy believes the alternatives analysis provides a useful framework for evaluating the project and its effect on natural resources. A modest reduction in the size of the expansion, such as provided by Alternative 4, would preserve much of the site's most valuable natural resources while still permitting Forest Lawn to continue its operations over the next half century. With impact avoidance as an overarching objective, the Conservancy offers the following specific comments on the proposed project and DEIR: Response to Comment No. 6-1 The introductory comments are noted and have been incorporated into the Final EIR for review and consideration by the decision-makers prior to any action on the Project. Specific comments regarding the environmental analysis in the Draft EIR are responded to below. The alternatives analysis referenced in the comment is presented in Section VI of the Draft EIR. The Project would not result in any significant environmental impacts after implementation of mitigation measures. Thus, the alternatives analysis evaluates alternatives that would reduce overall development to examine whether the less-than- significant impacts associated with the Project could be further reduced.

  • Griffith Park Wildlife Connectivity Study Project Update, March 2012
    Griffith Park Wildlife Connectivity Study Project Update, March 2012 Dan Cooper, Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc. Miguel Ordeñana, Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc. Erin Boydston, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Project Goals This scientific project uses remotely-triggered cameras to study the movement of large and medium-sized mammals to and from Griffith Park and the surrounding open space. This is the first project to evaluate movement of wide-ranging species through potential corridors that may connect the Griffith Park region to neighboring natural areas. Why Study Connectivity? This area — which forms the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains eco-region — is surrounded by highways and other development. These urban features can limit connectivity between habitats, isolating populations of animal species. When animals are unable to cross these urban features, their populations may be prone to inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity. Decreased genetic diversity may increase a population’s chance of extinction. Landscape connectivity is important for the maintenance of natural biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, and requires animal movement across highways and other urban features. By studying the movement of large and medium-sized mammals to and from Griffith Park, we can identify potential corridors that may connect the Griffith Park region to other natural areas. Project Methods The project was initiated in July 2011, to run through 2013. Working in cooperation with several landowners in the area, the research is jointly conducted by biologists from Cooper Ecological Monitoring, Inc. and the USGS Western Ecological Research Center. The focus is the Griffith Park region of natural areas, at the eastern end of the Santa Monica Mountains eco-region in Los Angeles County, California.
