Join us on a tour led by 14th generation Californian, Rich Toyon, to learn about the history of the first people of Crescenta Valley and their history and interaction with the Rosemont Preserve. And if you haven’t seen our latest video on this, also hosted by Rich, it’s absolutely worth checking out!

The Rosemont Preserve is part of the ancestral homelands of the Tongva people of the Los Angeles basin. They are the original inhabitants of the Crescenta Valley and for the last three thousand years, the Tongva utilized the resources before them and managed the flora and fauna for their purposes and for the health of the environment in which they lived. Goss Canyon, where the Rosemont Preserve is located, was one of several canyons that had specific use and was a source of many plant and animal species necessary for daily life. The Tongva knew that if they took care of the land the land would take care of them. Learn how these ancient ways are even more relevant today.
