The Property provides connectivity to public lands, including tribal lands to the north and Hellhole Canyon County Preserve. The habitat on the Property includes coast live oak woodland/riparian, Diegan coastal sage scrub, southern mixed chaparral, Engelmann oak woodland, and coastal sage-chaparral. The habitat supports many sensitive species such as Belding’s orange-throated whiptail, southern rufous-crowned sparrow, and mountain lion.
Project Location
Why is this project on the 30×30 list?
Scientists say protecting 30% of our land and coastal waters by 2030 can protect and restore California’s natural places for plants and animals, help keep our ocean clean, and restore needed balance to our environment. An overwhelming number of Californians support this goal. Now, we need to work together to take regional action—and leverage this moment to foster more equitable access to nature in San Diego, as well as the benefits of climate resilience and biodiversity.
