Santa Clarita Canyons

Proposed Wilderness Area

The Santa Clarita Canyons features a variety of habitats that are under-represented in our current National Wilderness Preservation System, including coast live oak woodlands and low-elevation meadows. The area is home to 20 federally endangered species, as well as housing a living history extending back 1500 years. Contrary to popular belief, Placerita Canyon was the site of California's first Gold discovery, in 1842 by Juan Francisco Lopez, six years prior to the Sutter Mill discovery.
