Arroyo Trail Critical Linkages Project Breaks Ground
Foundation: Ayrshire Foundation, Pasadena Community Foundation
Hikers in Pasadena, Calif., will soon be able to enjoy more of the city's native plants and animals.
The One Arroyo Foundation on Saturday broke the ground on a project to restore 3.5 miles of trails in the Arroyo Seco, which runs from the mountains to the sea and is Pasadena's crown jewel, the Pasadena Star-News reports.
"What other city in the entire region, in the entire state, in the midst of its neighborhoods, has such a beautiful natural space?" said Mayor Victor Gordo at the groundbreaking ceremony.
"The Arroyo Seco is the crown jewel of west Pasadena, and we're so excited to break ground on this project to improve miles of well-loved trails in this beautiful natural resource."
The restoration project will include road crossings to improve access and connectivity, footbridges, wayfinding, trail restoration, planting native species, and natural seating and learning areas, per the foundation's website.
The project is being funded in part by a $500,000 grant from California State Parks, a $200,000 grant from the Ayrshire Foundation, and a $1 million grant from the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, the foundation said in a press release.
The project will also include the re-opening of the Mayberry-Parker bridge, which has been closed since
