Chilao School

Chilao School A creative space in the heart of the forest The school is being left largely intact and retains the charm of its bygone days.

Chilao School is 2,000 square feet of open space with good natural light, located in the heart of the Angeles National Forest, close to Newcomb’s Ranch Restaurant, within a quarter mile of Meadows Group Camp, and surrounded by hiking trails and scenic vistas. The school was built in 1963 by La Canada Unified School District and briefly served the residents of the Angeles National Forest as an elem

entary school. Closed to the public since 1981, the school now belongs to the non profit group Redbird, who is making the space available to rent. Redbird makes this space available to arts, culture, self improvement, forest management, fire ecology and educational groups in the greater Los Angeles area and beyond and hosts programs in arts, culture, healing arts, the environment and life skills.

Meanwhile, the water in the creek dwindles with a sudden departure that surprises me every year. Two weekends ago we put Winnie's wheels on and gave her a cooling walk in the water. Today there's more wet sand than surface water.

Electric Will and friends stopped in today and enjoyed a little rest at the school before getting back on the highway. The temperature peaked out at 82 on the patio in forever shade, so in the sun it was probably edging toward 90.
