    Angeles National Forest Annual Accomplishments Report Fiscal Year 2011

    Angeles National Forest Annual Accomplishments Report Fiscal Year 2011 Angeles National Forest U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Region Angeles National Forest February 2012 From the Forest Supervisor The Angeles National Forest was established more than a century ago, changing and developing along with the Southern California culture. During its history, it has attracted countless numbers of outdoor en- thusiasts. The Angeles began as the San Gabriel Timberland Reserve in 1892 and was the first national forest in California and the second in the nation. The reserve was later changed to the Angeles National Forest in 1908. Many changes and challenges have come throughout the decades and we are proud to continue to con- serve and protect 668,727 acres of forest. The Angeles hosts about 4 million visitors each year, making it one of the most visited national forests in the nation. The Angeles’ proximity to the greater Los Angeles area makes it the most urban national forest in the country which leads to increasing demands for multi- ple uses including telecommunications sites, utility corridors, dams, water sources and conveyances and locations for the film industry. Although this means that we are faced with a tremendous challenge, it also presents us with exceptional opportunities. While we remain committed to the original tenets of forest and watershed conservation, we must at the same time provide for the increasing public use needs of millions of forest visitors each year. We are proud to be stewards of the land for all of you, the American public. The employees of the Ange- les and I would like to share with you our accomplishments for Fiscal Year 2011.
