Acquisitions Funded

The Wildlife Conservation Board unanimously approved funding for the 80-acre Eastbridge (which closed escrow June 28th) and 320 acres of the First National Investment Properties lands. Both properties contain ridgeline land and are adjacent to Chino Hills State Park.

State Park Bill (SB 266)

Hills For Everyone sponsored SB 266 with Senator Josh Newman to require the Department of Parks and Recreation to take title to ~1,500 acres of ridgeline land it deemed a priority in the Chino Hills State Park General Plan. The bill is in the Assembly Appropriations Suspense File as of July 14th.

Barbed Wire Removal

The Blue Ridge Fire revealed an opportunity to remove decades old barbed wire which made wildlife movement difficult. Nearly 4.5 miles were mapped and this spring two miles were removed thanks to two dozen volunteers. More work remains to be done!

Blue Ridge Fire Restoration

Hills For Everyone, State Parks and the Interpretive Association are cooperating on a series of wildfire recovery grants each group received. The bridge, trail fencing, and campground sign will be rebuilt and the native plant garden replanted.

Esperanza Hills Project

The 340 unit Esperanza Hills is on hold as the last appeal was lost in November 2020. However, in August 2020, the City of Yorba Linda denied the grading permit for the project's entrance. The landowner is contesting this decision and filed a lawsuit against the City.
