Did you know that there are bees native to California that nest in the ground, not in a hive? Yep! This photo was taken on the Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority’s Sycamore Canyon Preserve. They become more active in spring. You can see their bee burrows in the ground and they are perfectly circular. Give them space–as we need bees to pollinate the flowers and crops!

Hey! Do us a favor and fill out a review for Hills For Everyone. Let us know how you think we are doing protecting the unique natural lands in the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor.
We are pleased to see a little press on the recent L.A. County Board of Supervisors decision to expand the Significant Ecological Areas, portions of which overlap with the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor, offering additional environmental protections. View the San Gabriel Valley Tribune article.
Yesterday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved revisions to the Significant Ecological Area designations. These SEAs as they are called provide additional protections to biologically sensitive lands throughout LA County. Most of the Aera Energy lands, the Missing Middle of the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor, are now in an SEA. Thanks to the Supervisors and staff for making this happen. And, Hills For Everyone was proud to support it.
