Through a great partnership with Friends of Harbors, Beaches & Parks (FHBP), Hills For Everyone used FHBP’s Green Vision Map to identify 275 properties (totaling over 30,000 acres) in and around Orange County for possible acquisition.

Right now, the California Natural Resources Agency is taking ideas for land acquisitions around the state to help implement its 30×30 Campaign. The 30×30 Campaign aims to protect 30% of California’s lands and coastal waters by 2030. Early math indicates about eight million acres remain to reach that number.

We are thrilled 31 organizations of the Green Vision Coalition signed onto the letter submitted to the Agency today. We are ready to protect land in our part of the state. Orange County and its contiguous habitat lands can and should contribute to the greater good and preserve our unique biodiversity. Thanks to every organization that signed on. Our collective voices are stronger together than alone!
