The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, and Society for the Conservation of Bighorn Sheep are pleased to announce the 2020 San Gabriel Mountains bighorn sheep survey.  We will conduct a volunteer ground survey March 1st, with a mandatory orientation at 6:00 PM February 29th, at the Angeles National Forest Supervisors Office in Arcadia.  Your efforts have enabled us to track the growth of this unique population of majestic bighorn sheep for over 30 years.
