Church of the Woods

The FEIR is still being reviewed by the County Planning Commission and is not on the hearing calendar for the immediate future.

But that can change in the blink of an eye. It has happened before that the Planning Commission has given a developer months (or even years) to revise a FEIR, then allowed the public only 10 days to review it.


The Serenity Conference

 and Retreat Center

This Crest Park construction site has caused serious stream bed damage on its 1.8 acre parcel.  The developer continues to violate environmental rulings disregardig warnings.

The Lahontan Water Quality Control issued a clean-up abatement order on March 14,  telling him to do no further building on the site until the damage to the stream bed is repaired.

The Mountains Group is continuing to monitor this developer's actions.  


Check back for updates on the Serenity Center and Church of the Woods.

Fog and
Bad Weather Policy

As we know all too well, weather conditions can change suddenly and drastically in our mountains. In case of bad weather or heavy fog the Mountains Group's policy is to cancel a scheduled event. The following procedures have been set up to decide when to cancel an event and how to communicate this decision to members.

1) Designated contacts in Grass Valley Lake, Running Springs, Lake Arrowhead, Rim Forest and Crestline will report to the Chair (or to the Vice Chair, in the Chair’s absence) their weather conditions by 12 noon on the day of meetings at St. Richard’s or 9 am for events at Shady Cove or Keller Hut.

2) Based on those reports, a decision to “Go Ahead” with a meeting or “Call It Off” will be made.

3) The decision will be communicated to everyone on our email list and will, if possible, also be posted on this website.
