last link in place to restore
carbon canyon creek For 17 months an unique and successful coalition
has been growing and seizing the opportunity provided by the Freeway
Complex Fire to improve Carbon Canyon Creek. The November 2008 fire
that swept through these hills burned the dense, tall, highly
flammable and invasive plant, Arundo donax (giant reed), to the
ground. With multiple partners across county lines and
jurisdictions, funding has been cobbled together and projects
prioritized, so that the creek is now well on its way to a full
restoration.

Edison power lines, a recap of the HFE BBQ fundraiser and a history
of the hills, among other things.
OUR
MISSION "To protect, preserve and restore the environmental resources
and natural environs of the Puente-Chino Hills and surrounding areas for
the enjoyment of current and succeeding generations and to initiate,
sponsor, promote, organize and carry out plans, programs, and activities
that will tend to further these ends."
BACKGROUND Regional efforts to save the Puente-Chino Hills have been
underway for 31 years. Conservationists have been remarkably
successful. In the western part of the Corridor, nearly 4,000 acres have
been purchased as open space. In the east, 14,000 acres have been set
aside as Chino Hills State Park. The entire hillside system is now
connected to the Cleveland National Forest at Coal Canyon.
The task is not finished. Threats to the integrity of Chino Hills State
Park, its borders, and the Wildlife Corridor continue to emerge.
Currently, Hills For Everyone is heavily engaged in the protection of the
“Missing Middle” of the Wildlife Corridor. Tonner Canyon and the hills
between Harbor Boulevard in La Habra Heights and the 57 Freeway in Brea
are threatened by major development projects. If these lands are
developed, wildlife in the western part of the hills will become isolated
and die out. Protection of the "Missing Middle" is essential to the
health of the entire Corridor and the livability of the communities in this
region.
