On November 15, 2008, the hills ignited in two places. A large conflagration merged and burned across several days. Tens of thousands of people evacuated. More than 30,000 acres burned to the ground. More than 300 homes destroyed and/or damaged. What is your advice to new neighbors?

We highly recommend trying it every morning.

Three cheers to the OC Transportation Authority, Department of Parks and Recreation, Recon, & Orange County voters! The North Coal Canyon restoration project, above the 91 Freeway, has been restored and signed off by the permitting agencies. This 5.5 acre project improves coastal sage scrub habitat.

Tuesday, November 4 is Election Day. Remember to get out and vote. These decisions keep or replace elected leaders who do (or don't) support preservation of the hills. Therefore, the future of the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor depends on your vote tomorrow! #ElectionDay #VoteForTheHills

We had a great time at the haunted Halloween trunk or treat event put on by the Carbon Canyon Fire Safe Council. The event was mobbed and included a visit from the headless Horseman (who is said to reside in Sleepy Hollow).

Thanks to @asmdamonconnolly.bsky.social for authoring AB 1083, which provides the needed cleanup of SB 131, which functionally gutted the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Please give Connolly support. Senator Scott Wiener (D - San Francisco) promised a fix, but wouldn't deliver on it.

As we wrap up biodiversity week, thank you to all the producers and consumers who call our natural lands home. Without you, the world would be a very different place. #BiodiversityWeek2025

This week we’ve been celebrating biodiversity week. All the producers and consumers in the habitat lands have their own unique and special role in an ecosystem. That balance can be thrown out of whack by removing one species. #BiodiversityWeek2025
