Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, CA
2024 By Aaron Johnson, Joel Anderson
About the Art
Some of the country's most beautiful, incredible, and federally-protected nature sites are not designated within the 63 National Park System. However, they’re still administered and preserved by the National Park Service! These are national recreation areas, and California's Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area is one of the most beautiful. The park has historical and cultural sites, from old ranches to Native American centers. Located adjacent to the city of Los Angeles, the second largest urban area in the United States, the Santa Monica Mountains represent one of the largest protected areas of terrestrial Mediterranean-type ecosystems and coastal marine environments anywhere in the world. The Mediterranean ecosystem's climate and diverse topography in the Santa Monica Mountains have created a landscape filled with unique natural resources. Over 1,000 plant species provide habitat for approximately 500 mammal, bird, reptile, and amphibian species. Celebrating the historic site, this national monument design and vintage poster art would be perfect for home or office decor. It also serves as an excellent national park gift for the travel enthusiast in your life. As an original illustration, the design will look great as an unframed print, framed poster, notecard, postcard, metal sign, canvas, or mini canvas. Available in multiple size options, this hand-rendered nature illustration is fashioned in the style of 20th-century vintage art and the iconic travel art that first promoted the national parks and national monuments.
