The Placerita Canyon Trails Council, as small as we may currently be in numbers, has had a presence at several significant events.  We participated in the California Equestrian Trails and Land Use Coalition (CET&LC) annual meeting, held at the home of Ruth Gerson, guiding light behind the Santa Monica Mountains Trails Council, on Sunday October 8.  CET&LC is a statewide organization consisting of Equestrian Trails, Inc, (ETI), Back Country Horsemen Association (BCHA), and the California State Horsemen’s Association (CSHA) organizations devoted to the advocacy and preservation of trails throughout the State.   In addition, we actively participate on   the Santa Clarita Valley Trails Advisory Committee, a coalition of concerned local groups and individuals devoted to the design, adoption, and building of an integrated multi-use recreational trail network in the Santa Clarita Valley area. 

          As development continues to encroach, we will work to assure that trails are incorporated where feasible, including on the potential Casden development where our voice was already heard.  We also now have relationships with other similar focused (and larger) groups which can also provide support for our efforts as we will for theirs.

          If you are interested in participating in any trails activities, please contact Linda Tarnoff at HaveAHunchRanch@aol.com ,  If there is enough interest, we will even schedule a trail ride!!
