Ranger to join Eldorado National Forest from SoCal

The Pacific Ranger District in the Eldorado National Forest has a new ranger — Richard Thornburgh.

He was selected to direct the day-to-day operations on the Pacific Ranger District, headquartered in Fresh Pond, three miles east of Pollock Pines. Thornburgh’s district includes the Crystal Basin, a portion of Desolation Wilderness, and part of the Rubicon Trail.

Thornburgh

Thornburgh comes to the Eldorado from the San Bernardino National Forest where he’s worked for the past five years. He starts the new job in January.
