We celebrate and honor Indigenous People’s Day, recognizing their profound history, rich cultures, and invaluable contributions to our world. This day serves as a vital reminder of the enduring legacy of Indigenous communities and their deep connection to the land.

Nature for All acknowledges the Indigenous peoples of the ancestral homelands, where we live and deliver our mission. We value the vibrant Indigenous communities and honor the lineal descendants of the Gabrielino, Kizh, Shoshone Nations of Southern California, the Fernandeño Tataviam, Serrano, and Chumash, and all federally recognized and unrecognized native and Indigenous people as the original caretakers of the lands and waterways of what is now Los Angeles County.

We are grateful for the opportunity to partner with local Tribal Leaders, whose wisdom and guidance are instrumental in our shared mission to protect our public lands and open spaces. Their traditional ecological knowledge, passed down through generations, offers crucial insights into sustainable land management and conservation practices. By working collaboratively, we aim to safeguard these precious natural resources for future generations, respecting the ancestral lands and the cultures that have flourished upon them for millennia. Our partnerships are built on a foundation of mutual respect, learning, and a shared commitment to environmental stewardship.

We take this moment to also acknowledge and express our gratitude to Indigenous leaders that share their time, stories, and blessings as part of our programs throughout the year.

On Public Lands Day (September 26), Nature for All partnered with conservation corps and community based organizations from across Southern California to take care of the San Gabriel River. Volunteers spent the morning picking up trash at the East Fork, conducting Rapid Trash Assessments, and dam removals. It was a beautiful day of service that reminded us that when communities come together, we can make a huge difference in caring for our public lands.

If you weren’t able to volunteer on Public Lands Day, you can still make a difference:

- Submit a public comment asking the U.S. Forest Service to keep the Roadless Rule in place. You have until October 6, 2026, to make your voice heard. Comments can be submitted through Regulations.gov under Docket FS-2025-0001/RIN 0596-AD66.

- Sign our petition to ask for the continued protection and adequate funds and resources for the newly expanded San Gabriel Mountains National Monument!

Today, we celebrate National Public Lands Day – a day to give back to the forests, rivers, mountains, and outdoor spaces where we hike, camp, fish, ride, climb, explore, and spend time with family and community. These public lands also provide wildlife habitat, clean water, and opportunities for recreation and solitude.

One way you can stand up for public lands today is by submitting a public comment asking the U.S. Forest Service to keep the Roadless Rule in place.

The Roadless Rule protects approximately 58.5 million acres of inventoried roadless areas in our national forests by limiting road construction, and timber harvesting. These relatively intact landscapes provide important habitat and watershed protections while helping preserve our forests.

Now, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is proposing to rescind the Roadless Rule.

Don’t know where to start? Follow these steps to submit your comment and tell the Forest Service why protecting roadless areas matters to you, your family, and your community. You have until October 6 to make your voice heard. Comments can be submitted through Regulations.gov under Docket FS-2025-0001/RIN 0596-AD66.
