Leadership Academy graduate Ryan Farmer hosted the Helping Our Mountain Environment (HOME) trash and graffiti removal event in the San Gabriel Mountains on May 14 and engaged local residents in protecting and advocating for preservation and protection of the San Gabriels. More than 40 residents –including many members from the skater community — attended the event. They learned about our advocacy efforts, signed petitions supporting the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument’s expansion, and cleaned trash along a major road in the San Gabriel Mountains.
