ANIMAL SANCTUARY When you visit Farm Sanctuary’s Southern California Sanctuary, you’ll know right away that it is a special place. Our Sanctuaries are home to rescued cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and other farm animals — and each has a special story. Their stories of struggle and survival, against all odds, give us insight into the realities farm animals face in the modern food system and also introduce us to inspiring individuals through their heartwarming tales. Animals who began their lives abused and neglected now spend their days digging in the dirt, basking in the sun, and napping in the straw. Each animal is given the freedom and attention needed not only to recover but to thrive. farmsanctuary.org/the-sanctuaries/los-angeles-ca/

NATURE PRESERVE-HIKING Acton Wash Sanctuary is located in Acton, California, a beautiful northern Los Angeles County town named by a local miner from Acton, Massachusetts. The Sanctuary is nestled in the Sierra Pelona Mountains. A secondary branch of headwaters run through the Sanctuary all the way to the Santa Clara River. The 75-acre sanctuary has four distinct seasons, with snow during the winter and colorful floral displays during the spring and fall. Here we can see a gradual blending of coastal and desert plant communities. https://parks.lacounty.gov/acton-wash-wildlife-sanctuary/

HIKING-STAR TREK LANDMARK Vasquez Rocks made famous by Star Trek ("Kirks Rock"), located in the high desert near Agua Dulce Springs, features 932 acres of spectacular rock formations, and a seasonal stream. The rocks’ history began in prehistoric times when the sandstone rocks were uplifted at a picturesque angle, showing their jagged red features. In 1874 Tiburcio Vasquez, one of California’s most notorious bandits, used these rocks to elude capture by law enforcement. His name has since been associated with this geologic feature. The park is a popular hiking, picnicking, and equestrian area and has been used in many hit movies, television shows and commercials. https://parks.lacounty.gov/vasquez-rocks-natural-area-and-nature-center/

FISHING - Lake Palmdale is an artificial lake completed in 1924 along with the nearby Little Rock Reservoir created by Little Rock Dam. Its source of water is the California State Water Project and it is fed by the California Aqueduct. The most popular species caught here are Largemouth bass, Rainbow trout, and Black crappie. Lake Palmdale is regularly stocked of fish and has a small pier-like dock that extends about .25 miles (0.4 km) into the lake from which members of the Palmdale Fin & Feather Club may use to fish from or take a small boat onto the lake. There are also many other small docks that run along the southwestern coast of the lake, also for use by the Fin & Feather Club

ANIMAL SANCTUARY We are a unique educational sanctuary and wilderness retreat center that brings people together through direct relationship with rescued wolves for the purpose of empowering the next generation to become authentic leaders and stewards of the earth. With the help of the animals, at-risk groups reconnect with nature, learn to be of service by responsibly caring for another being, and work towards becoming the kind of person they want to be through Wolf Therapy®. The animals help them focus on their impulses, feelings and emotions in a constructive way; they learn to forgive and give others (and themselves) a second chance.

ANIMAL SANCTUARY dedicated to saving wild and domestic horses from abuse, neglect and slaughter. Once rescued and brought to our Lancaster, California training and adoption facility the horses are assessed for adoption potential by our highly skilled team of trainers. If the horses pass the muster they will get more training, if needed, and then the perfect home will be sought for them. Certain rescued horses are deemed un-adoptable for a variety of reasons, such as age, disposition, confirmation, or history of abuse. Those deserving horses will live out their natural lives at our beautiful wilderness sanctuary called Wild Horse Canyon, located in Caliente, California. https://wildhorserescue.org/
