Open House: U.S. Forest Service Headquarters

The U.S. Forest Service's new Angeles Forest headquarters is now open for business.

Correction: An earlier version of the story said the open house was Wednesday. It is Tuesday.

The United States Forest Service will hold an open house and dedication ceremony for its new Angeles National Forest headquarters Tuesday, Dec. 11.

The campus boasts an environmentally-friendly administrative building and a 24,000-square-foot Supervisor’s Office that houses more than 80 employees.

The building's “green” features include a dry creek and retention pond for recycling rainwater, solar panels and natural lighting through vaulted clerestory windows. The facility will also receive energy credits from the companion “net zero” energy project in San Dimas.

Forest Service officials say they hope the new headquarters will soon receive the prestigious Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification.

 If You Go:

  • The U.S. Forest Service Angeles National Forest headquarters is at 701 N. Santa Anita Ave. in Arcadia.
  • Check-in begins at 2 p.m., with the dedication ceremony starting at 2:30 p.m. The open house concludes at 7 p.m.
  • Speakers will include U.S. Forest Service Deputy Chief Leslie Weldon, regional forester Randy Moore and Angeles National Forest Supervisor Thomas Contreras.
  • Smokey Bear is scheduled to make an appearance.

Hi Susan, The graphic shows that in only one year from 2002-2011 were more Hispanics arrested thanRead More Blacks (2011) - if you hover your mouse over each point you can see the raw number of arrests for each group each year. That's despite there being a substantially larger Hispanic population in L.A. County. The data comes from the Dept. of Justice and was reported by the ACLU - and I believe the point of the report is that there is racial profiling going on, not to suggest that black people are using more pot. In fact, the study suggests that there is not significantly more prevalent pot use among any one racial group. The figure 2.6 times as likely refers to blacks vs. whites, as in mentioned in the first sentence of the article, and comes from the ACLU study. Our intention was definitely not sensationalism but rather to direct readers to this national ACLU study that included L.A. County data. Let me know if I can answer any other questions.
