SB 266, Hills For Everyone’s Chino Hills State Park expansion bill is on its way to the Governor’s Desk. A solid shout out to Senator Josh Newman and Assemblyman Phillip Chen for advocating for this bill’s passage through both houses. What does this mean?

However, we would encourage the Newsom Administration to look at incorporating wildfire science and wildfire history into the land use equation. This information helps land use planners determine where to allow homes and where there is extreme fire danger (like multiple wildfires). Areas at most risk (regardless of the existence of homes) are places have … Read More
