A unique wild landscape
With one of the few remaining open views of Mt. San Gorgonio and Mt. San Jacinto, this wild canyon is just minutes from downtown Redlands, California. Hikers, cyclists, equestrians, and dog owners can enjoy hundreds of acres of open space, courtesy of the city of Redlands and Redlands Conservancy. Dark night skies are another unique feature of this canyon. Endangered Southern California mountain lions, and bobcats, hawks and dozens of other wildlife species make their home here. The canyon contains one of the few remaining coast live oak woodlands in the Redlands area. This land also contains a site that is culturally significant to local indigenous tribes.

What We All Have to Lose
This beautiful recreation spot for people, and home for wild animals and native plants, would be forever altered if houses were built in and around the canyon. We are asking the City of Redlands to work with the landowners to preserve this tract as open space. We hope for a win-win: preserving the place and offering the landowners fair compensation. |
