Eight 30×30 workshops are being offered by Friends of Harbors, Beaches & Parks (FHBP). The first covers pathways 5, 6, and 10 in the CA Natural Resource Agency’s Pathways to 30×30. Let’s get folks trained on how to protect 30% of the State’s lands and waters by 2030. *Join the webinar on April 27, 2023 from 10 – 11:30 am.*
Accurate maps are critically important to making informed decisions about land use planning. Those “blank spots” or “white space” on a map… may actually be parkland. Thanks to the The Nature Conservancy for this article on the importance of getting “nature on the map.” Read The Nature Conservancy’s article.

Congrats to local conservation groups (The Nature Conservancy included) and wildlife researchers for this much needed purchase in Riverside County. Without this connection in the Palomar Range, wildlife in the Santa Ana Mountains (and therefore, Puente-Chino Hills), would be stranded (geographically and genetically). Over time, inbreeding would occur within the population and the species would die out. Great work keeping this top level predator (the cougar) safe. Check out the Temecula Valley Development article.
A lot of organizations including The Trust for Public Land, The Nature Conservancy, the Association of California Water Agencies and Hills For Everyone support the passage of Prop. 68. This proposition on the June 5th ballot will provide much needed funding for California’s parks (including land acquisition and recreational access) and water features (stream protections and safe drinking water).
