Follow the money...Ag doesn't have any, Interior does.
There is enormous stress put on the Angeles NF front country. Ice House Canyon and the Mt. Baldy crowded trailheads are considered secondary by the forest and do not get much love. There focus is in and Hwy. 39. This is warranted if you listen to the radio traffic any weekend.
Over the last ten years, the Telegraph Wash area has been destroy 3 times by heavy storms and an avalanche at its base. The forest service has done absolutely nothing to repair this heavily traveled section. Now, it and Cedar Canyon are in need of repair both along the Ice House and Chapman Trails and it is not going to happen. One major storm and we could lose this area to hikers.
I support the move.
