On a recent trip to Chino Hills State Park, we found milkweed. This is the first time in decades that we’ve seen this plant in the Park. We have historic photos of milkweed (photo shown left) and now this new one (photo shown right). Why is it important you ask? Milkweed is the plant that critically endangered Monarch butterflies use to lay their eggs and then when the eggs hatch, the larvae eats the milkweed. This is just one of the many reasons Chino Hills State Park and natural lands like it are so important. They are the last hope for many wildlife and plant species. We hope the natural wonders of this park—and others—inspire you to support conservation actions now and in the future.
