FRANKLIN CANYON
Franklin Canyon can be accessed from Beverly Drive and also from Coldwater Canyon across from Tree People at the light and intersection of Mulholland, Coldwater, and Franklin Canyon. This conservancy is 600 plus acres of hiking trails that are getting infringed on by developers in the outer skirts of the canyons as I write but this developer is taking things too far. He wants his house in the middle of the canyon, on a peak all his own. (He says the house is for himself but he is a developer. So..?) The balance of nature, the environment and the peace that hikers seek will be affected. It has in fact already been affected but we can stop progress.

JOIN THE FIGHT TO
SAVE FRANKLIN CANYON FROM DEVELOPER
MOHAMED HADID
Hadid is in the process of leveling the peak that extends from the Hastain Trail, part of the Santa Monica Mountain Conservancy. I stopped the bulldozers on Tuesday Feb. 15, by sitting down in front of them but they are making more progress as I write. epaulascott@gmail.com
Mohamed Hadid of Hadid Development (google his name, it's enlightening - in a scary and sad way) is a huge developer of Ritz-Carlton Hotels and much more. He is building his reputation on finding creative ways to achieve what others cannot. In this case, what others have not and should not. His goal now is to build a property at the top of Franklin Canyon, thus infringing on nature and countless hikers who have been finding refuge in this retreat for more than 20 years.
I want to add my name to the petition to SAVE FRANKLIN CANYON.
If you commit to joining us in stopping the devastation of this canyon, I will keep you informed via email of events that you can participate in. Please email me, epaulascott@gmail.com with any 'publicity' connections &/or contacts you have. In the meantime contact our city council members. The following are four members who have been active in protecting open space but please go to the official web site of the city, search lacity.org and contact ALL of the council members because they all profess to care about this and they all need to know how many of us there are who see the protection of this canyon as an urgent matter.

Hadid took my hand painted sign. He said to his men, "Take it down!" and I was too busy sitting on the dirt pile to pay attention but when I turned around it was gone. I think that is stealing.
