On this special Earth Day, please know that Hills For Everyone continues to work to connect, protect, and restore the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor. Help out the land, water, or air this weekend to celebrate our magnificent planet!

We are pleased to report that we are aware of no fires that were started in the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor in the days before or after the Fourth of July. We know FireWatch volunteers were out and so were park and preserve rangers. We can breathe a sign of relief related to this significant and historic fire ignition week. Keep up the vigilance as it will be a hot, dry summer!
This is your friendly, but VERY serious, reminder our hills are *quite* flammable. So are our cars, houses, possessions–even us–we are flammable.

Please DO NOT set off fireworks in any of the neighborhoods near the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor–they are banned for a reason. Our safety, our lives, and our peace of mind are worth more than any firework display.
