Dear Hillside Supporter:

Thank you for those that participated in Earth Day 2021. Ensuring our lands remain protected, in good sustainable health, and function well as complete ecosystems is important to all of us Earth dwellers. That's why we do the work we do. In other news, we spent some time last month building our repository of photos of the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor. Our photos include: mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, insects and spiders, landscapes, native plants, and wildflowers. Check it out and let us know what you think. If you have a photo you wish to submit for us to consider and use (with proper photo credit) please email it to us: info@HillsForEveryone.org.

Take care,

Claire Schlotterbeck

Learn & Respect Park Rules

This is a quick reminder that as a park visitor it is your responsibility to know the trail rules, the speed limit, proper trail etiquette, park hours, what trails dogs are allowed on, etc. For example, in Chino Hills State Park the speed limit on a bike is 15 miles per hour. In the Habitat Authority lands, there are some places no mountain bikers or equestrians are allowed. Depending on the season, each location opens and closes at different times. Learn more about how to respect the land and the trails via the Leave No Trace Outdoor Ethics to protect the natural world.

SB 266 Set for Hearing Thursday

Hills For Everyone's legislation, Senate Bill 266 (which will add 1,500 acres to the State Park), was put in the Senate Appropriations Committee "suspense file." This Thursday, May 20th the suspense file bills will be considered. If the bill gets out of Appropriations and is sent to the Senate floor and passes there, it will move over to the Assembly for consideration. If the bill is not voted out, it is held in Committee and under submission. Fingers and toes crossed, it makes it to the Senate Floor. We've been working diligently with Senator Newman and our lobbying team to get it out of the suspense file!

Henderson Legacy in Puente Hills

Bob Henderson, founder of the Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority and mastermind behind the open space acquisition "tipping fee" for the Puente Hills Landfill, is leaving his post on the Authority's Board. Having served in the role of Chair for 25 years and two years as a board member, Bob will focus on ensuring the Wildlife Corridor pinch points of the Puente Hills are protected--specifically looking at the Hsi Lai Temple expansion and its impacts. There are nearly 4,000 acres protected because of his creativity in open space preservation. As a side note, Bob still serves on the Hills For Everyone Board.
