Chino Hills State Park
"As we celebrate the centennial, we should also remember that, although one act of Congress and a presidential signature can put a park on the map, the work of preserving these places and their stories falls to us too, as citizens, as owners, and it's never done."

This video shows our legacy project: the protection of Chino Hills State Park from East Fenceline Trail.
