Thanks to the Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority for remembering those that have contributed to saving lands on the western side of the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor. These individuals may be gone, but their legacies live on in the hills, in the streams, and the wildlife that roam free.
We share in the loss of Whittier resident Chuck Hanson, one the founders of the Friends of Whittier Hills. His legacy of saving land in the Whittier area is both remarkable and long lasting. We owe him a lot. In these difficult times, we wish his family comfort even as we also feel ever so grateful for the gift of his life. Services will be held on Saturday, January 3, 2015. View his obituary in the Whittier Daily News.
