We are pleased to see a little press on the recent L.A. County Board of Supervisors decision to expand the Significant Ecological Areas, portions of which overlap with the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor, offering additional environmental protections. View the San Gabriel Valley Tribune article.
Yesterday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved revisions to the Significant Ecological Area designations. These SEAs as they are called provide additional protections to biologically sensitive lands throughout LA County. Most of the Aera Energy lands, the Missing Middle of the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor, are now in an SEA. Thanks to the Supervisors and staff for making this happen. And, Hills For Everyone was proud to support it.
A new wildlife corridor ordinance was passed in Ventura County. It is in times like these that we can point to policies and say… “look it has been done before, this isn’t something new.” Sometimes it is hard to lead the way–so a big shout out to the Ventura Board of Supervisors for this approach for our wildlife.

Yorba Linda resident Joe Bryne penned this OpEd for the Voice of OC on the Esperanza Hills project and notes that the County is being held hostage by the developer, who refuses to indemnify the County unless the project is approved. Read this Voice of OC article.
