A Message from our Executive Director Andrea Gullo:
30 Years of Service, 1994-2024
This year we are celebrating our 30th anniversary of preserving the Puente Hills as a public agency. Since 1994, the Habitat Authority has been honored to play our role for nature and the public good. We hope to continue to do so for future generations to come as we explore future funding options to address a budget structural deficit that threatens the continuation of essential services.
For three decades, the Habitat Authority is proud to have served by:
-
Protecting and managing the 3,880+ acre Puente Hills Preserve, implementing habitat restoration of over 312 acres, and partnering in building Los Angeles County’s first wildlife underpass.
- Providing a 23-mile trail system (via six trailheads: Sycamore Canyon, Powder Canyon, Hellman Park, Arroyo Pescadero, Hacienda Hills, and Turnbull Canyon) for thousands of people to enjoy daily.
- Providing rangers that provide law enforcement and are trained in wildfire fighting, which contributes to the local communities’ quality of life and property values by keeping the hills clean and safe.
- Contributing to our social fabric by providing a venue for our amazing volunteers to host public hikes each week for all to enjoy.
- Providing preventative brush clearance to protect local communities from wildfires.
- Having provided outreach to over 33,000 youth and adults as a result of our educational efforts.
