Hello readers of The Wild.
U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff likes to be out in nature. You might see him on a night hike in Griffith Park or running up the steep trail from the Stough Canyon Nature Center in Burbank to the top of the ridgeline. And, of course, people recognize him. “I do have those who want to talk about peace in the Middle East, but for the most part people are friendly,” he said on a Monday phone call.

Schiff also looks out for his wild constituents, the ones that don’t vote. He’s proud that mountain lions and bears dwell in his 28th District, which includes Griffith Park and the Hollywood Hills, La Canada-Flintridge and Tujunga to the north, and Echo Park and the Elysian Valley to the east. “I’m delighted when I meet with people from Africa and they tell me about their lions, and I can say ‘I’ve got lions,’ ” he said.
