On February 26th, 2021, a major milestone was passed in the fight for federal protection of the Rim of the Valley, the catch-all name for the various lands, ecosystems and open spaces occupying the hills that surround the San Fernando Valley, and the site of the in-progress, 200-mile Marge Feinberg Rim of the Valley Trail.
Specifically, the House of Representatives passed The Rim of the Valley Corridor Preservation Act, legislation included in the Protecting America’s Wilderness and Public Lands Act.
This is a bill Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) has, in his words, “been championing for nearly 20 years.” Schiff’s website offered the announcement here.
