Gopher Problems Near Azusa — San Gabriel Canyon, Azusa Greens Golf Course, and Mountain Foothills
Azusa sits at the mouth of San Gabriel Canyon — the dramatic gorge that cuts through the San Gabriel Mountains providing access to the Angeles National Forest — and its position directly at this mountain gateway creates some of the most geographically intense gopher conditions in the eastern San Gabriel Valley. The national forest is literally within the city's boundaries at the canyon mouth, and the foothill terrain along the mountain base creates persistent downhill gopher pressure across the entire northern portion of the city.
The Main Gopher Sources in Azusa
San Gabriel Canyon and the Angeles National Forest — the national forest extends into Azusa's northern boundary through the San Gabriel Canyon corridor. The canyon walls and the foothill terrain flanking the canyon mouth contain natural chaparral and grassland habitat that sustains significant gopher populations. The residential neighborhoods in northern Azusa along Azusa Avenue, the streets below the canyon mouth, and the foothill communities at the base of the mountains experience direct and persistent pressure from the forest's established populations. This is among the most direct national forest gopher pressure situations in the San Gabriel Valley.
Azusa Greens Golf Course is a public 18-hole course positioned along the San Gabriel River in central Azusa. The combination of riverfront setting and irrigated fairways creates productive gopher habitat, and the surrounding residential neighborhoods see consistent year-round activity from the course's populations. The San Gabriel River corridor itself functions as a gopher movement pathway connecting Azusa to communities up and down the valley.
Citrus College maintains a substantial campus with irrigated grounds, athletic facilities, and maintained ornamental plantings in central Azusa. The campus functions as a neighborhood-level gopher source for the surrounding residential blocks throughout the academic year.
Gladstone Street and San Gabriel River corridor — the San Gabriel River running through Azusa provides riparian habitat along its corridor that sustains gopher populations distributing movement between the canyon above and the valley below. The river's undisturbed banks and native vegetation are productive natural gopher habitat within the city.
Azusa Pacific University maintains irrigated campus grounds in the city's southern area that contribute additional institutional gopher pressure to the surrounding residential neighborhoods.
