Three cheers to the Orange County Transportation Authority, California State Parks, Habitat Restoration Sciences, Inc., and @DudekInc for completing a restoration project near South Ridge in Chino Hills State Park. The restoration work included 11 acres of cactus scrub and is part of the Authority’s Renewed Measure M Environmental Mitigation Program which funds habitat acquisition, restoration, and management to offset freeway impacts.
