11-2002 LOS ANGELES – California State Parks and the Baldwin Hills Conservancy today announced the expansion of Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area with the acquisition of the first in a series of parcels along the Stocker Corridor in the Baldwin Hills. The preservation of the 38-acre open space corridor is part of the ongoing effort to expand Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area into a two-square mile natural park, open space and recreation oasis in the heart of southwest Los Angeles. This new acquisition will ultimately provide a critical link between the Crenshaw Community and the existing Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area. Proposition 12 funds have been earmarked for the Stocker Corridor project via legislation by Sen. Kevin Murray and supported by Speaker Herb Wesson and the Davis Administration. The Stocker Corridor is a mile-long series of parcels that has remained as natural open space through the efforts of community members. The purchase of this first parcel along the corridor for $675,000 has been the culmination of community, local and state agency efforts to preserve the corridor and retain the natural characteristics of the Baldwin Hills area. 6-2002 http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/712/files/061802notice.pdfMap of stocker corridor http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/712/files/061802map.pdf

Taylor Yard 57.8 acres and the Cornfields, 32 acres by SP
--http://www.parks.ca.gov/pages/712/files/121203.pdf 12-2003-California State Parks announced today that it has acquired its first park property which directly fronts along the Los Angeles River at Taylor Yard near downtown Los Angeles. The 17.8-acre parcel G that has been a part of the Union Pacific Taylor Yard properties runs for about a half-mile along the river just east of the Highway 2 Glendale Freeway bridge over the Los Angeles River. It is one of the few remaining natural habitat zones left along the river and is seen as essential for the long-term restoration of the Los Angeles River. State Parks has reached an agreement with Union Pacific to purchase the17.808-acres for $10,472,000.00 and with Public Works Board approval today, escrow on the property is expected to close next week. The acquisition funding comes from Proposition 12. In December 2001, State Parks purchased the 40-acre Taylor Yard property known as parcel D along San Fernando Road. However, it is separated from the river by the Metrolink rail line. It was likewise purchased with Proposition 12 bond funding. It is now being developed jointly by California State Parks and the City of Los Angeles as a seamless park that includes both natural and recreational areas. The 17.8 acre parcel is just upstream and State Parks intends to develop it as a natural riverfront area and connect it to Taylor Yard, thereby connecting the Taylor Yard property to the Los Angeles River parkland corridor. Many believe parcels D and G are the linchpin properties for moving ahead and acquiring more of the riverfront by State Parks and other agencies to eventually create a Los Angeles River Parkway. State Parks also owns the Cornfield property, located downstream of Taylor Yard. It does not directly touch the river, but has links for bike paths and trails to the river, thereby making it one of the connecting properties to Taylor Yard and another major part of the future Los Angeles River Parkway. The northernmost 17.8-acre parcel is contiguous to the 6-mile stretch of soft-bottomed channel of the Los Angeles River known as the “Glendale Narrows”. This is one the few remaining natural habitat zones where one can get a glimpse of what the Los Angeles River may have looked like prior to channelization. Parks comm.. minutes 8-22-03–an agreement has been reached to form a partnership with the City of Los Angeles in which the state would lease about half of the 40-acre Taylor Yard site to the City of Los Angeles, which would then construct sports fields at the city’s expense. State Parks would develop the other half of the site as a “traditional” state park, which would retain the link to the parcel that is immediately adjacent to the Los Angeles River. The objective being to have a park that seamlessly transitions from active recreation to more passive recreation to a riparian environment. State Parks hopes that this will eventually lead to the “greening” of the Los Angeles River in this area.

The L.A.- Pasadena Blue Line light rail right-of-way forms the parcel’s western and northern boundaries, with an intermodal station under construction one block south of the property in Chinatown. In March of this year, the Trust for Public Land (TPL), a national non-profit land protection organization, stepped in and negotiated an option to buy the property from Union Pacific Railroad Company via the current option holder, Majestic Realty Company. An appropriation of $40,000,000, most of which will come from the Proposition 12 Parks Bond Act of 2000, is expected to be approved by the Governor when he signs the budget this summer. TPL will then transfer the property to State Parks.

In March of this year, the American Land Conservancy, a private,
non-profit organization that facilitates the preservation of parkland
and water resources throughout the nation, announced that it would
purchase the property from LAACO, Ltd., the Los Angeles Athletic Club.
The intent of ALC has been to purchase the 1,659-acre property and hold
it for transfer to the California Department of Parks and Recreation
when park bond money became available. The money for acquiring lower
Topanga Canyon will come from the Proposition 12 Parks Bond Act of
2000. Of the $48 million allocated, $43 million will be used to purchase
the property and the remaining $5 million will be used to relocate the
tenants and begin the restoration of the site.

SOKA UNIVERSITY: -588 acres (purchase finalized in 2005) SMMC 10-25-04
588
acres-by CC, WCB and SP--2005• CC contributed $10.5 million toward the
Mountain Recreation Authority’s acquisition of the 564-acre SOKA
Property in the upper watershed of Malibu Creek. The purchase protected
critical wildlife habitat and offers outstanding recreational
opportunities in the heart of the Santa Monica Mountains. SOKA Property
within the coastal zone of the Malibu Creek watershed to protect
critical habitat, open space and watershed lands and to implement the
Santa Monica Bay Restoration Plan, approved by the Conservancy on August
2, 2001
With
this deal completed on Friday, April 16, 2005, with the close of escrow
on the 588 acre purchase, it is a partnership between State Parks and
nine other agencies to preserve a property many have called the “Crown
Jewel” of the Santa Monica Mountains. “One cannot overstate the
significance of acquiring this magnificent natural landscape,” said Ruth
Coleman, Director of California State Parks. “We have been trying to
acquire this wonderful parcel since the mid-1970’s. We now own a portion
and all the partners in this endeavor are to be applauded for
preserving this ecological jewel.” The Soka property being added to
Malibu Creek State Park is almost exclusively oak woodland, chaparral,
and annual grassland. It is in native condition, with the exception of a
few access roads and a small building at the edge of the property. The
entire 588 acres of the Soka University property is seen as a critical
habitat linkage for wildlife such a mountain lions, bobcats, badgers,
and other animals within the Santa Monica Mountains. The partnership
funding for the acquisition is as follows: (Most of the funding comes
from Propositions 40 and 50, bond acts passed by voters for land
conservation.) • Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, $10 million •
California State Parks, $7.15 million • State Coastal Conservancy Board,
$5.5 million • State Wildlife Conservation Board, $5 million • Santa
Monica Bay Restoration Commission, $2.5 million • National Park Service,
$2.5 million • County of Los Angeles, Prop. A, $2 million • Mountains
Recreation and Conservation Authority, $1.23 million • Calabasas,
$250,000 • Agoura Hills, $250,000.

Public-Owned
(Please click on map to enlarge)
The dark green area in the map on the left shows a 296-acre oil field that may be acquired soon by the Baldwin Hills Regional Conservation Authority. Not much info is available except that the Authority discussed the sale at its June 28, 2007 meeting. The sagebrush covered parcel would extend the State park so that the public would have hiking trails with views of both downtown L.A. and the Pacific Ocean.

The Santa Monica Mountains Backbone Trail is Almost Finished!
Linking almost 60 miles of connected parkland from the San Diego Freeway to Point Mugu State Park in Ventura County,
the last two miles are under "construction" by the National Parks Service. When I last hiked it in April 2007, only the portion near Mulholland Highway was not finished, as minor stream crossings and drainage pipes under the trail were not installed. Also, watch out for the two guard dogs at Lucky Ranch, just to the east, as the fence does not keep them inside.

MAJOR L.A. WILDLIFE CORRIDOR PINCHPOINT PARCEL TO BE SAVEDMarch 2007: Browning-Ferris Industries (BFI) owns approximately 1200 acres of
vacant land in Elsmere Canyon and has offered to donate the northerly 400 acres
to the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority. This property connects the thousands of acres of parks in the Santa Monica Mountains, Simi Hills and Santa Susana Mountains with the Angeles National Forest and parks in the east half of L.A. County! This pinch point is just north of Sylmar and Granada Hills and south of Santa Clarita.
The Elsmere parcel is in the center of the map below, immediately east of the 14 freeway icon. The green shaded land is public parkland. The red shaded parcels are from a year 2000 map of proposed purchases by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. (click on maps to enlarge)

Catalina Island Conservancy, http://www.catalinaconservancy.org/
In 1972, members of the Wrigley and Offield family established the Catalina Island Conservancy as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation and preservation of Catalina Island. On February 15, 1975, the final step was taken to ensure the protection of the majority of the Island when Mr. and Mrs. Philip K. Wrigley and Mrs. Dorothy Wrigley Offield, through the Santa Catalina Island Company, deeded 42,135 acres of the Island to the Conservancy. With this gift, the conservation and preservation of most of Catalina's interior and 48 miles of its coastline were given permanent status in perpetuity under sole stewardship by the Conservancy. Prior to this, in 1974, they entered into a 50-year open space agreement with Los Angeles County, guaranteeing public recreational and educational use of 41,000 acres of Santa Catalina Island, consistent with good land conservation practices.
