Hills For Everyone

Hills For Everyone works to preserve the unique and disappearing landscapes of the Puente-Chino Hills Wildlife Corridor and founded Chino Hills State Park. Hills For Everyone's mission is "to protect, preserve and restore the environmental resources and natural environs of the Puente-Chino Hills and surrounding areas for the enjoyment of current and succeeding generations..." Four counties come together in these hills. Regional efforts to save the area have been underway since 1977. Conservationists have been remarkably successful. In the western part of the Corridor, 4,000 acres are protected above Whittier while 14,000 acres are set aside in the east as Chino Hills State Park. The entire hillside system is now connected to the Cleveland National Forest at Coal Canyon along the 91 freeway in Anaheim. The challenge remains. Threats to the integrity of the State Park, its borders in Brea, Yorba Linda, and Chino Hills, and the Wildlife Corridor in general continue to emerge. We also remain vigilant in working to secure the “Missing Middle” of the Wildlife Corridor, the undeveloped hills along the 57 freeway north of Brea. These lands are owned by Aera Energy, a subsidiary of Shell-ExxonMobil and the City of Industry.
