Join Us / Volunteer with Takataka Club
Get Involved
Our beautiful mountains are littered with trash and illegal dumping; even Fodor put the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument on its 2024 “No List” of places to avoid, due to the overwhelming amount of trash and lack of environmental awareness.
We’ve made a significant improvement over the years, but trash is a continual problem… so we need YOUR help!
We meet every Tuesday morning at 8:00am at the FIRST TURNOUT on the right when entering the Angeles Crest Highway via La Cañada.
Please see the map below for exact location.
What to Bring? What to Wear?
