Did you know that there is an off-road motorsports facility proposed for 133 acres adjacent to Chino Hills State Park and the 71 freeway in Riverside County? Yep. Hills For Everyone Executive Director Claire Schlotterbeck attended the Notice of Preparation meeting on Monday. When the Environmental Impact Report is released, we will let you know.
Hills For Everyone is part of a coalition that has protected 1,300 acres across Orange County through a mitigation program, including ~300 acres (the Hayashi Preserve) next to Chino Hills State Park. OCTA is hosting a renaming effort to honor the natural resources on the preserves. Join in the fun by voting for your favorite preserve names at: www.OCTA.net/Preservation. The name will be revealed at the Saturday, February 24th hike on the O’Neill Oaks Preserve.
