Hills For Everyone proudly acknowledges the life and achievements of Senator Ross Johnson who died Wednesday. He was instrumental in the creation of Chino Hills State Park, which lies at the juncture of four Southern California counties. View the Hills For Everyone Press Release.
It isn’t everyday that you can celebrate a BIG conservation achievement. In unprecedented partnerships with transportation agencies, wildlife agencies, and the conservation community Hills For Everyone and many others celebrate a major milestone 12 years in the making. Conservation Plans permanently protecting 1,300 acres of land and restoring 350 acres were finalized. This team effort deserves a few photos!
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. The 296-acre Hayashi Preserve (shown left) was acquired in May 2011. It borders Chino Hills State Park. Tomorrow, the Orange County Transportation Authority signs a county-wide Conservation Plan permanently protecting this land and 1,000+ acres elsewhere. Congrats to all the partners involved!
