Hills For Everyone is part of the M2 Environmental Coalition working to protect additional lands through the OCTA Environmental Mitigation Program. So far, two restoration projects within and one acquisition adjacent to Chino Hills State Park has occurred. We’ll be there to celebrate the signing of the Conservation Plans tomorrow!
In 2006, Hills For Everyone was one of 30 conservation and community groups to support Orange County’s Renewed Measure M (a 1/2-cent sales tax measure) because it provided funding for conservation projects.
