Join Fisheries Resource Volunteer Corps (FRVC) for a stream leader patrol training on the West Fork of the San Gabriel River!

Meet at the Gateway Center.

Patrols on the East Fork are moderate to strenuous and involve hiking 4 to 9 miles on trail with rocky terrain and multiple stream crossings. High water due to recent rain and snowmelt may limit the patrol distance during the late winter and early spring.

This stream is popular with hikers, scout troops, overnight campers, miners, anglers, and bungee jumpers, so there is significant public contact on this stream all year. Be prepared to cross the stream several times, as the trail meanders back and forth. The length of the patrol will vary depending on the time of the year and the water level.

Please note that this patrol is actively recruiting volunteers to join before scheduling the next patrol date and subject to changes, please get in touch with the patrol leader before attending.

FRVC will be conducting a trash assessment on the East Fork San Gabriel River.  Hiking is minimal and some locations are not currently open or accessible to the public to to fire damage.

FRVC has partnered with the Forest Service to evaluate the impact of trash left in the stream and stream banks by recreational visitors.  Because of the results of prior surveys, the East Fork was listed on the Clean Water Act's section 303(d) list of impaired waters due to trash and debris. The California Regional Water Quality Control Board has tasked the administrating body for the stream, the Forest Service, to ensure that the trash does not exceed set health standards referred to Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL).

The survey will encompass 4 locations (reaches) along the East Fork.

 - The flats downstream of Follows Camp

 - The stream across from the Oaks Picnic Area

 - Eldoradoville vicinity or the area near the confluence of Cattle Canyon and the East Fork

 - The area below Coyote Flats

The survey includes both in-stream and stream bank assessments.

The trash will be categorically listed and removed (if possible) from the survey area.

If you are interested you can learn more about the survey from Section 4.3.1.1, 4.3.1.1b, 4.3.1.1c, and 4.3.1.1d from the link below.

What To Bring:
