Orange County friends: Here is a “participate from home” action you can take to benefit native trees. The OC Board of Supervisors considers a new Tree Preservation Policy on Tuesday, May 5th. Lands proposed for addition to this new policy include land/trees in and adjacent to Chino Hills State Park in Brea. Please make your voice heard if you live in Orange County by calling your supervisor to support this policy (details/talking points in the email)

If you are looking for something fun to do at night… consider making animals with the shadows of your hands. You just need your hands, a light/flashlight, and some empty space on a wall, door, or ceiling. We have not attempted this line up ourselves, but it seemed pretty cute, so we decided to share. If you try it, let us know if it works.

Did you know bobcats are the most numerous wild cats in the Americas and are found in the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor? They are much smaller than cougars and have smaller territories. Unlike cougars whose tails are nearly as long as their body, bobcats have a short, stubby tail. Bobcats are solitary animals who tend to avoid human contact.
