Everyone is welcome to this event featuring an opportunity to learn and share with people at the forefront of forestry, sylviculture and volunteerism about how trees live, grow, support each other, and how we can take better care of them. The trees have many lessons to teach.

In the wake of the Station Fire, the trees had many lessons to teach. Join us for a day devoted to trees - what we've learned, what we need to learn, our successes and failures and our hopes for the future. Sponsored by Redbird/Chilao School. We are seeking speakers from public and private agencies, and individuals with experience in restoration. Weather, time and audience interest permitting, we'll view portions of the burn area, examine natural and hand planted seedlings and perhaps take a mild to moderate hike. Come and share your knowledge and experience, and learn about Tree People's volunteer efforts and future aspirations in the Angeles. Light refreshments will be available. This event is free. Donations are always appreciated.

Free event, everyone welcome, no experience necessary

Did you know that you can do yoga while riding a motorcycle? Thank goodness that's not what Jamie is going to teach us. What he will share is body healing, balancing and strengthening through yoga...and every one of those is important if you want to get back up on your motorcycle, horse, bicycle or favorite mountain. Yoga can be very helpful in healing the body and the mind, restoring flexibility and building strength on both the physical and emotional planes. Everyone, with or without yoga experience, is welcome to this workshop. Mats provided. Light refreshments provided. This workshop is free; there will be a donation basket for Jamie placed somewhere in the school.

Added bonus - we are located in the heart of the Angeles National Forest off of Highway 2 - an epic ride for all two wheelers.

Follow signs through campground to Chilao School.

From the Los Angeles/San Fernando Valley area, take the 210 freeway to Angeles Crest Highway/Highway 2 exit. Turn north, up hill, away from the city, toward the mountains.
