The primary
purpose of the Altadena Foothills Conservancy (AFC) is the
preservation of land in Altadena, California, focusing on
the natural foothills that provide a buffer between developed
residential neighborhoods and the rugged San Gabriel Mountains.
AFC works cooperatively with other conservancies in the region
and state.
Altadena is an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County,
California, USA bordered by the Arroyo Seco on the west, Eaton
Canyon on the east, Angeles National Forest to the north, and
the city of Pasadena to the south. Elevations in Altadena range
from approximately 1000 to 3000 feet in the foothills of the
San Gabriel Mountains foothills. Water falling in Altadena
flows to the Upper Los Angeles River on the west and Rio Hondo
on the east.
