Restore Forest Funding

Hills For Everyone is concerned about the recent loss of Forest Service employees because the health of the Cleveland National Forest is linked to the health of the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor.

☎️ If you care about public lands or the Wildlife Corridor, call or email your federal elected officials. Tell them to defend public lands and re-instate public land employees.

In 1908, Congress created the Cleveland National Forest naming it after President Grover Cleveland. It consists of three distinct Districts: Trabuco, Palomar, and Descanso totaling over 460,000 acres.

The Trabuco District primarily consists of chaparral and coastal sage scrub ecosystems, with small groves of big-cone Douglas-fir trees.

On March 1, 2025 President Trump issued an Executive Order to increase timber production in National Forests. As it relates to the Cleveland’s Trabuco District, the threat is low.

For the Trabuco District the bigger threat lies in the loss of employees [3,400 employees nationwide]. For Forest visitors this means decreased wildfire protection.

Chino Hills State Park is directly connected to the Cleveland National Forest’s Trabuco District at the Coal Canyon Biological Corridor near the 91 Freeway.

Hills For Everyone cares about the ecological health, safety, and prosperity of the Forest because it ties to the health of the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor. The two landscapes support one another and it is tenuous enough as it is.

Study after study shows parks and forests are not economic drains, they are economic pumps. Visitors buy equipment, gas, food, supplies, and forest passes supporting the local economy and family businesses.
