Please join us in cleaning up our canyon by volunteering to pick up litter along East Chevy Chase to Emerald Isle Drive and Linda Vista to Buckingham Road. (We might extend the clean up to the Chevy Chase Estates portals if enough participants join). Contact Leticia Gonzalez at 818-434-4647 or gonzalez.leticia11@gmail.com for more information.

We will provide trash bags and trash pickers at the meeting point.. Please arrive at 8:30 to pick up your materials. You may then start your cleanup in the area where you wish, but let us know where you’ll be working so we don’t crowd each other. Start your cleaning, and when you’re done, return to the meeting point to deposit your collected trash (and return the pickers) and pose for a group photo!

About the Organizers:

The “Pride of Buckingham” group was established with the intent of bringing the folks who reside on Buckingham Road and Buckingham Place together in sharing this beautiful Canyon and taking pride in keeping the environment clean. The Canyon Cleanup event has been happening (usually quarterly) for more than a decade.

The Chevy Chase Estates Association (CCEA) was founded in 1937 and is the oldest association of homeowners in California. Through its Board of Directors, this Association is actively involved in all issues that impact the quality of the Chevy Chase Canyon lifestyle. The CCEA Board is a group of twelve Canyon volunteers who are dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the quality of life in Chevy Chase Estates.

The CCEA Strongly Opposes SB 9 & SB 10

Two new bills are being considered by the California State Legislature, SB 9 and SB 10, that would both seriously impact local zoning regulations and allow major new development in residential areas.

Watch the video below.

The CCEA board opposes both of these bills, as do countless other homeowner associations around the state, as well as local governments.

These bills threaten to destroy the beautiful environment here in Chevy Chase Canyon with large apartment buildings and countless homes.  There are also no provisions for infrastructure improvements to support all the new development, and the fire danger would undoubtedly be increased.

We encourage you to reach out to Assembly member Laura Friedman and State Senator Anthony Portantino to let them know what you think.. This is urgent so please act as soon as possible.
