  • There Are Approximately 20 Extant Prehistoric Sites with Rock Art in the Santa Monica Mountains. the Majority of the Rock Art Co
    REVISITING THE TREASURE HOUSE, CA-VEN-195 EVA LARSON NATIONAL PARK SERVICE ALBERT KNIGHT There are approximately 20 extant prehistoric sites with rock art in the Santa Monica Mountains. The majority of the rock art consists of Chumash-style red pictographs. One esthetically pleasing site (CA- VEN-195) is located near Boney Mountain. Research by Campbell Grant (1965) noted that there was already some vandalism at the site. Recent research by Knight and Larson (2012) showed that there has also been a small amount of damage since 1978, when the first archaeological site records were made for the site. Overall, however, the site remains mostly intact, and continues to be a fine example of Eastern Coastal Chumash intellectual and artistic creativity. There is a pictograph site within the Santa Monica Mountains that has become known as the “Treasure House,” VEN-195. Within two shelters, there are 37 pictographs, which are among the finest and best-preserved in the Santa Monica Mountains. The rock shelters have been in private landowner hands for many years, which may account for the good condition of the pictographs and the preservation of the site. The red ochre pictographs are considered to be in Eastern Coastal Chumash territory and range in size from 5 cm in length to a maximum of 15 cm in length. VEN-195 is located on private property in upper Little Sycamore Canyon. The two rock shelters are located in a small arroyo in the foothills of Boney Mountain and are found at the base of two large conglomerate boulders. The rock shelters are approximately 20 m apart, with the larger lower shelter below the smaller upper shelter, and both are adjacent to a spring-fed stream.

  • A Bridge Across Time Connecting People with Wildlands
    A Bridge Across Time Connecting people with wildlands Headwaters Corner at Calabasas Master Plan 2008 Introduction The concern for the health of our environment has finally permeated mainstream America. Climate change, urban sprawl, beach closures, flora and fauna extinctions, all affect the physical and mental well being of our loved ones and ourselves. We all have wanted to do the right thing, but somewhere along the way we failed to connect the impacts of our actions with the health of the environment that shapes our lives. The time has come to change behavior and look at things in a different way. Headwaters Corner at Calabasas is taking on that challenge. A collaborative effort has been launched to reunite people with nature, empower them with knowledge, and provide them with opportunities to improve the environment. Individual actions do matter, and together we can embrace what the future will bring to make our world a better place. So please join us as we cross the bridge to becoming better stewards of the Earth. – Debbie Bruschaber, Mountains Restoration Trust Acknowledgements Many talented people have touched this plan and I wish to thank Jessica Hall and Restoration Design Group for synthesizing the prior work of Doug Campbell of Campbell and Campbell, Jan Dyer and James Dean, Steve Craig and Charles Rowley.
